影片是根据英国著名戏剧家克里斯多夫．马罗的同名戏剧改编。16世纪的英格兰国王冷落王后，使徒竟然公开地和自己的同性爱人展开种种惊世骇俗的爱恋行为，使徒使得整个王国的统治陷于崩溃，面临瓦解。有先见之明的王后最后使出心狠手辣的毒招，阻止了这场灾难的来临用“高度概念化”来形容这部影片仍不能确切表达它的复杂性。Jarman以现代性别政治的眼光改写了16世纪Christopher Marlowe的戏剧。故事围绕Edward国王公开的同性恋行为展开，并不是发生在奢华的历史环境中，影片场景使用了光秃秃的墙壁，肮脏的地板，演员也身穿时髦装束。Jarman还充分发掘了Marlowe原作中所有同性恋的潜台词，并将其作为表达重点。他使用了原作的对白，但将这个戏剧性的故事与当代对同性恋的压制及同性恋者的抗争混合在一起。影片没有确切的时代，多数时间里各个年代的情形交错在一起。

回复 :It is a great film by a great director.Kira Muratova has never been given her due in the Soviet and post-Soviet Russia.In the "Long Good Bye" she depicts a seemingly banal story of a jealous and possessive mother (brilliantly acted by Zinaida Sharko) and her poor aloof and lonely son (the only cinematic role by the talented O. Vladimirsky). The story - which is nothing extraordinary in itself - grows into the wonderful and frightening analysis of alienation between genders and generations on the background of the even more frighteningly bleak and dehumanized Soviet reality.Kira Muratova shows the tiny details of everyday Soviet life,and, again , banal as they are ,they are a hair-raising horror.The dialogue is deliberately laconic and void of any sense, showing the ever-growing people's inability to communicate and understand each other.The sound track ( by another under-estimated talent, Oleg Karavaichuk)adds to the atmosphere of hopeless and meaningless existence.Of course,Sasha (the name of the protagonist),will leave his despotic ( but loving!) mother sooner or later, but where for?
