Jubilee (15) + intro
Derek Jarman?s provocative account of the punk movement is both prophetic and apocalyptic.
Queen Elizabeth I and her occult aide Dr John Dee - brilliantly played by Jenny Runacre and Richard O?Brien, respectively - travel into the future to 1970s London. There, they encounter the megalomania of big business as well as gangs of violent, marauding killers ? punk rock icon Jordan makes a memorable appearance among them as Amyl Nitrate.
Jarman is hitting his stride here ? and doesn?t spare the shocks. While electrifying punk rock numbers are abrasively delivered by Jayne County and Adam Ant, the mythological past and bleak future converge on the sparse, grey streets of London.
This screening is part of Rip It Up ? a nationwide season celebrating the changing face of youth rebellion, culture and expression on screen in the UK. Supported by Film Hub North as part of the BFI Film Audience Network, made possible by the National Lottery.
