Summary: Love It
Review: This is a cool movie with a lot of cool people in it. Adam Ant, Toyah Wilcox, Jordan (punk goddess), Little Nell, Richard O' Brien........lots. Sure, its weird. Yes, there is a lot of nudity. If that is offensive to you, then you shouldn't buy this movie. If you want to see some of the people that were a part of the "punk scene" when it first started then buy this movie. And Plastic Surgery (which is a real Adam and the Ants song that Adam wrote and was performing with his band at the time....Deuchester Girls is in it too, but you hardly hear it) is a greeeaat song. And he looks HOT singing it. Heck, he looks hot through the whole thing. This movie was 3 years after Rocky Horror Picture Show and it is cool to see Little Nell and Richard O'Brien in another movie together. Anyway- what I am trying to say is.....BUY THIS MOVIE. Even if you don't like it personally, people will think you are a hip guy just for owning it. And it is cheaper here then at the movie store. Trust me.

Summary: An essential for any early punk fans
Review: This is a highly unusual and artisticly revealing cinematic pleasure. If anyone has seen director Derek Jarman's films before, you probably know that he doesn't follow the conventions of film narrative. For punk fans it offers a view of the wasteland fantasy world that isn't too far off from the truth. Early glimpses of Adam Ant(the soon to be Mtv poster boy looking very young), Little Nell (Rocky Horror Picture Show), and Ian Charleson (Chariots of Fire). For any fan of the Sex Pistols' movie, "THe Great ROck and ROll Swindle"- this movie is perfect for you. IT contains lots of nudity- both male and female and has alot of questionable acts of violence. Not recommended for everyone- but definitely a rare treat.

Review: This movie is about as boring as a thanksgiving parade, i wouldnt really call this art either, its just basically a punk movie with punk influence. If you want a real art/punk film check out sid and nancy, its 5 stars better than this movie.

Summary: If punk rockers ruled the world...
Review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.
"Jubilee" released in 1977 during Queen Elizabeth II's silver Jubilee year, certainly would not be accepted by her.
In this film Queen Elizabeth the first wants to see England in the future. She is sent 400 years ahead to see England in a manner somewhat reminiscent of Clockwork Orange. Punk rockers dominate the mass media, sexually deviant behavior (erotic asphyxiation for example) is considered acceptable, and a variety of other crazy things.
The film never got an MPAA rating but deserves an NC-17 in my opinion. It got an 18 rating in England which is pretty much the same.
The film is sure to offend many people and I strongly recommend that people learn more about it before seeing it themselves.
The Criterion DVD has a documentary on director Derek Jarman, a theatrical trailer, a super-8 film used in the movie as stock fooatge, and a fascimile of Jarman's scrapbook.
It is mainly a film for those interested in the punk era.
