Everything about Jubilee 1977 Film totally explained
Jubilee is a
1977 cult film directed by
Derek Jarman. It stars
Jenny Runacre,
Ian Charleson, and a host of proto-
Goths and
punk rockers. The title refers to the
Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 1977.
In
Jubilee,
Queen Elizabeth I (Runacre) is transported forward in time by the occultist
John Dee (
Richard O'Brien) through the spirit guide
Ariel (a character from
Shakespeare's
The Tempest). Elizabeth arrives in the shattered
Britain of the 1970s.
Queen Elizabeth II is dead, killed in an arbitrary
mugging, and Elizabeth I moves through the social and physical decay of the city observing the activities of a group of sporadic
nihilists including Amyl Nitrate (
Jordan), Bod (Runacre in a dual role), Chaos (Hermine Demoriane), Crabs (
Nell Campbell), and Mad (
Toyah Willcox).
The film is heavily influenced by the 1970s
punk aesthetic in its style and presentation. Shot in grainy colour it's largely plotless, episodic, untidy, confrontational, often incoherent and noisily
anti-establishment and anti-
royalty (
Buckingham Palace has become a recording studio run by a seedy music producer named Borgia Ginz).
Numerous punk icons appear in the film including Jordan (a
Malcolm McLaren protege), Toyah Willcox, Campbell (Little Nell),
Adam Ant, Demoriane and
Wayne County. It features performances by Wayne County and
Adam and the Ants. There are also
cameo appearances by
The Slits and
Siouxsie and the Banshees. The film was scored by
Brian Eno.
