Customer Reviews of Jubilee - Criterion Collection
Toyah Toyah Toyah A fascinating cult movie. The Elizabethan Magus and astrologer John Dee (shown performing the sign of Osiris Risen on the cover) magically transports Queen Elizabeth I and some of her courtiers forwards in time three hundred years to witness the London of a far far Jubilee.
However, the Future London is in the throes of total anarchy, with sex and violence being the order of the day. This is classic Jarman and features a solid cast, which includes Punk goddess Toyah Wilcox, who I believe is now Mrs. Robert Fripp (King Crimson) - who also appeared (gasp... topless) in Jarman's superb version of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
This is still well up there in my Top Ten Quirky Movies, along with The Wicker Man, Derek Jarman's The Tempest and Rocky Horror, and is highly recommended.
Awesome
Jubilee? I never heard of that Jarman-movie before, but I loved Sebastiane, Edward II and Caravaggio, well, and I haven't been disappointed.
It's wild and beautiful, and some scenes (Jordan's interpretation of "Rule Britannia", the club-scene in Westminster-cathedral etc.etc. !!!) are simply miraculous.
See it, and you will find one of the important sources where the imagery of so many films of the 80's and 90's derive from, even if such a bizarre, tasteful punk-poetry like in "Jubilee" rarely has been attained since.
It's a highly elegic and even moral movie, Jarman sadly glances at our time, and one has to admit that many things have gone quite accurately in the direction Jarman predicted in 1978.
After having seen so many un-modern movies (i.e. neo-monumental, neo-melodramatic, neo-hyperrealistic films) in the last decade, watching "Jubilee" is like diving in fresh, cool water after a long walk in the desert.
By the way, Criterion did, as usual, a fine job; don't miss the excellent documentary!!!
not at all what i expected
i had a lot of trouble watching this, partly because it made no sense and partly because it wasn't interesting at all. a coherent storyline isn't really that essential for me, i enjoy david lynch. even though lynch rarely makes much sense his films are beautiful and hold your attention. technically jubilee was fair, visually it was okay. i ususally trust the criterion company with their releases but this is one of the few that i recommend against.
