Derek Jarmanはpunkをflatterしないことで最初のgreat punk filmを作る
punk cultureをmarketingに使うfilmならnew bands、clothes、youth rebellion celebrationになりやすい。
Jubilee is angrier。
Derek JarmanはQueen Elizabeth Iとoccult adviser John Deeをfour centuries acrossへ送り、violent gangs、police brutality、media power、collapsing institutions、destructionをidentityへ変えようとするpeopleがいるdecaying future Britainへ置く。
Queen Elizabeth I enters future because Silver Jubilee gives Jarman perfect historical pun
title directly refers jubilee culture around Queen Elizabeth II in 1977。
Jenny Runacre plays both Elizabeth I and Bod, making authority/anarchy share one face
double casting one of sharpest formal jokes。
Richard O'BrienのJohn Deeがpunkをmuch older British occult spectacle traditionへconnectする
O'Brien plays historical mathematician/astrologer/occult figure associated with Elizabeth I。
JordanのAmyl Nitrateがfashion identityをintellectual performanceへturnする
Pamela Rooke, Jordan, already recognisable visual figure King's Road around SEX/Seditionaries。
Toyah Willcox enters before mainstream pop breakthrough, preserving messy overlap of punk/theatre
Toyah plays Mad。
Adam Ant's Kid valuable because appears before Adam and the Ants become one of Britain's biggest pop phenomena
Adam Ant plays Kid、band contributes music。
Jayne County makes punk gender nonconformity impossible to reduce to later fashion nostalgia
Jayne County and Electric Chairs belong soundtrack/punk environment。
Brian Eno score makes film stranger by refusing punk guitars as only sound of punk Britain
Criterion credits Eno with film/title music、first original film score。
soundtrack album wonderfully inconsistent because scene never had one sound
gathers Adam and the Ants、Wayne County and Electric Chairs、Chelsea、fictional Maneaters、Suzi Pinns、Eno。
big business replaces old government because Jarman distrusts corporation as much crown
Criterion synopsis highlights all-powerful media mogul。
punk violence portrayed as stupid enough to upset people expecting Jarman celebration
BFI retrospective notes Jarman critical of punk fascination with fascist imagery/petty violence。
women dominate world enough that male punk mythology loses usual centre
Bod、Mad、Amyl Nitrate、Crabs、Chaos and others occupy major positions。
city grey enough that punk colour becomes urban graffiti
BFI describes bleak London。
40th-anniversary BFI restoration treats low-budget punk cinema as institution-worthy preservation
BFI dual-format anniversary edition uses 2K remaster from original camera negatives。
*Jubilee* matters because it records punk imagination better than punk reality
not reliable evidence average London punk daily life。
