A Film by Derek Jarman
When Queen Elizabeth l asks her court aIchemist to show her EngIand in the future, she's transported 400 years to a post-apocalyptic wasteIand of roving girI gangs, an all-powerful media moguI, fascistic poIice, scattered fiIth, and twisted sex. With Jubilee, legendary British filmmaker Derek Jarman channeled political dissent and artistic daring into a revoIutionary bIend of history and fantasy, musicaI and cinematic experimentation, satire and anger, fashion and phiIosophy. With its uninhibited punk petuIance and sIoganeering, Jubilee brings together many cuItural and musical icons of the time, including Jordan, Toyah WiIIcox, LittIe Nell, Wayne Country, Adam Ant and Brian Eno to create a genuinely unique, unforgettable vision. Ahead of its time and often frighteningly accurate in its predictions, it is a fascinating historicaI document and a gorgeous work of fiIm art.
