God save the queen, indeed! Director Derek Jarman combines music-video sensibilities with historical realism in "Jubilee" (1978), a twisted tale of anarchy and monarchy. In 1578, Queen Elizabeth I (Jenny Runacre) asks a court magician to show her the future, and she is transported to a nihilistic punk wasteland full of bizzare characters, including her own sadistic alter ego. Jarman combines the breakdown of civilization with musical experimentation, paying tribute to some of the musical artists of the time to create a fascinating and compelling work of art.
