Jubilee (1978) Reassessing The Cult Punk Classic

PATREON: , Jubilee, DerekJarman, ToyahWillcox Jubilee (1978) Reassessing The Cult Punk Classic: This week s video essay examines Derek Jarman s controversial (and heavily criticised) cult film criticising class division, exploitation, and the excesses of punk, Jubilee With a stacked cast of legends Toyah Willcox, Jenny Runacre, Adam Ant, Richard O Brien, Jayne County, and more Derek Jarman aims to create a satiric postapocalyptic vision of Britain that embraces, yet also reassesses the power of punk music, suggesting that all artists inevitably sell out. An impressive film filled with an ethereal insight, Jarman s Jubilee feels surprisingly prophetic in its criticisms which still hold relevancy today.
