Jubilee (4 Stars)

Queen Elisabeth I asks her court advisers what the future will be like. They summon the archangel Ariel, who gives her a vision of England in 1977. England is in a state of anarchy. London is burning, while people sit at home and watch "Top of the Pops". The monarchy has fallen, and a Fascist record producer has bought the palaces, where he lives with his old friend Adolf Hitler.

The message of this film is clearly "No Future". There are memorable performances by Jenny Runacre, Toyah Willcox and Adam Ant. The soundtrack is better than the film itself and contains some incredible 1970's songs by artists from the punk era such as Suzi Pinns, Adam Ant, Wayne County and Siouxsie and the Banshees.

Before his death in 1994 director Derek Jarman released his films, including this one, into the public domain. The full length film can be viewed on YouTube here.
