Question: Which film whose director was born first, Gorantha Deepam or Edward Ii (Film)?

It is based on the play of the same name by Christopher Marlowe. The plot revolves around Edward II of England's infatuation with Piers Gaveston, which proves to be the downfall of both of them, thanks to the machinations of Roger Mortimer. Edward II is a 1991 British historical tragedy film directed by Derek Jarman and starring Steven Waddington, Tilda Swinton and Andrew Tiernan. The film is staged in a postmodern style, using a mixture of contemporary and medieval props, sets and clothing. ( The date" 1991" appears on a royal proclamation at one point.) The gay content of the play is also brought to the fore by Jarman, notably by adding a homosexual sex scene and by depicting Edward's army as gay rights protesters. <SEP> In 2013, he was awarded the Padma Shri, for his contribution to Indian art and cinema.
