Brutal Beautypresents Isaac Julien's refreshing vision of Derek Jarman as a true Renaissance man--a painter, director, activist, diarist and gardener--whose infectiously prolific range of enterprises belies a consistent preoccupation with liberated sexual politics and the defiance of inherited mores.

'Riot' is an intellectual and professional autobiography of the British artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien, whose trail-blazing career has moved through forms of documentary, biography, dance, narrative film, and multiscreen installation. Both visually sensuous and politically and socially engaged, Julien's films draw on influence as disparate as silent cinema, cultural studies, news stories, Chinese myth and popular music.
