- Synopsis:
- Derek Jarman's 'Jubilee' is the original punk film and the one closest to the movement's anti-establishment, 'no-future' attitude. The story sees Queen Elizabeth I transported by the angel Ariel to a bleak England of the future where chaos now reigns. Buckingham Palace has been purchased by a megalomaniac who has transformed it into a recording studio for punk musicians. A group of punk girls pass the time with acts of mindless violence, sex and the occasional murder. Anarchy rules in the UK.

God Save Nothing - Jubilee review by griggs
Jubilee is what happens when Queen Elizabeth I stumbles through time, lands in pre-Thatcher chaos, and finds Britain’s gone to hell in a leather-studded handcart. It’s punk but written by Shakespeare. Or maybe the other way around. The social commentary hits like a sledgehammer through a stained-glass window, but there’s a raw, feral energy that keeps it from dragging. Messy, loud, and all over the place—but you can see why it’s a cult favourite.
