Film Screening: Jubilee by Derek Jarman
Jubilee (1978), Dir. Derek Jarman, 1h 46min, 18+
Queen Elizabeth I and her occult aide Dr John Dee travel into the future, to a bleak, broken Britain, encountering the megalomania of big business as well as gangs of violent, marauding killers. Violence and anarchy reign and Buckingham Palace is a recording studio for punk musicians. The mythological past and bleak future converge on the sparse, grey streets of London. Serving to upset and unnerve the conventional cinemagoer, Jubilee defines the confrontational abandon of punk cinema.
