Derek Jarman's homo-erotic vision of the legend of St. Sebastian is filled with beautiful images of male bodies and graphic scenes of sex + torture. The arrow-pierced body of martyr Sebastian is a familiar image in Christian iconography: in the Derek Jarman film the martyr Sebastiane is seen as a Christian sympathizer who, sent into exile by Emperor Diocletian, becomes involved in a sadomasochistic intrigue which results in his death.
