Sebastiane

Sebastiane is a 1976 Latin-language British historical thriller film directed by Derek Jarman and Paul Humfress and written by Jarman, Humfress and James Whaley. It portrays the events of the life of Saint Sebastian, including his iconic martyrdom by arrows. The film, which was aimed at a gay audience, was controversial for the homoeroticism portrayed between the soldiers and for being dialogued entirely in Latin.

Justin:
You are marvelous and dance like a god.

Sebastian:
Not like a god, Justin, but for God.

Justin:
Severus understands your dance?

Sebastian:
Yes, he understands.

Severus:
So you're still a Christian?

Sebastian:
Yes.

Severus:
Then remove my armor.

Sebastian:
His eyes are so beautiful. He has sky-blue eyes.

Justin:
What is this? What are you talking about?

Sebastian:
His hair is like the sun's rays.

Justin:
Sebastian...

Sebastian:
His body is golden like molten gold. This hand of his... will smooth away these wounds. Justin, he is as beautiful as the sun. This sun which caresses me... is his burning desire. He is Phoebus Apollo. The sun... is his... burning kiss.

Sebastian:
His beauty is enhanced by his anger. It is his anger which is devine. His punishments are like Christ's promise. He takes me in his arm and caresses my bleeding body. I want to be with him. I love him.
