The film was his last testament as a film-maker, and consists of a single shot of saturated blue colour - specifically International Klein Blue[1] (RGB 0, 47, 167, CMYK 100, 72, 0, 35).[2] This fills the screen, as background to a soundtrack where Jarman's and some of his long-time collaborators' narration describes his life and vision.
