"The Angelic Conversation" is a 1985 arthouse drama film directed by Derek Jarman. Its tone is set by the juxtaposition of slow moving photographic images and Shakespeare's sonnets read by Judi Dench. The film consists primarily of images of homosexuality and opaque landscapes through which two men take a journey into their own desires.

Jarman himself described the film as:

"a dream world, a world of magic and ritual, yet there are images there of the burning cars and radar systems, which remind you there is a price to be paid in order to gain this dream in the face of a world of violence."
[Jarman, Derek (1997). "Kicking the pricks". ISBN 978-0-87-951844-8]

The soundtrack to the film was composed and performed by Coil, and it was released as an album of the same title.
