The Raft of Medusa
As the water level rises by an isolated lakeside farm, so do suspicion and desperation of thetrio who find themselves stranded there.
The Raft of Medusa is a dream-like collageof visuals set to the soundtrack of a Simon Armitage radio drama based on a never realised screenplay by Derek Jarman, with whom Heslop was a close associate andcameraman. Jarman’s screenplay itself was inspired by Theodore Gericault’s painting by the same name.
