"You say to the boy "Open your eyes". When he opens his eyes and sees the light, you make him cry out, saying "Oh, Blue, come forth! Oh, Blue, arise! Oh, Blue, ascend! Oh, Blue, come in!" |

Blue is the twelfth and final feature film by director Derek Jarman, released four months before his death from AIDS-related complications. Such complications had already rendered him partially blind at the time of the film's release.
The film was his last testament as a film-maker, and consists of a single shot of saturated blue color filling the screen, as background to a soundtrack where Jarman's and some of his long-time collaborators' narration describes his life and vision.
Tropes used in Blue include:
- Hey, It's That Voice!: Tilda Swinton voices one of the narrators.
- Leave the Camera Running: A single shot of a blue screen. Justified, as it represents the director's partial blindness and is the central theme of the film.
