Jubilee - Derek Jarman (1977)

After months of peaceful rest, its about time to open the gates of the OchCult Corner for another screening of a movie from the underground. This time the Corner brings you britain’s first punk movie ever to hit the cinema: Jubilee directed by Derek Jarman.

The staff of the OchCult Corner received some complaints from the dead bodies scattered around here. It seems that some illegal parties were held in the Corner. We regret that our loyal customers had to turn around in their VIP-graves multiple times and hope something horrified as this will never happen again in our prosperous place. As a result of this the OchCult Corner handles a strict door policy.


Jubilee - Derek Jarman (1977)

From mid 70’s the world was faced with a new breed of scum. After the hippies, there were punks celebrating a life of doing nothing and hailing for an anarchic society. This latter as a result of paint intoxicating. The monarchy was enemy number one of the punks. In the year 1977 when Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Silver Jubilee, the Sex Pistols revolted against the Royal Family with their “God Save The Queen“, an instant punk anthem. The song hits the highest places and stirred a lot of controverse in the more conservative parts of Britain.

Jubilee - Derek Jarman (1977)

This is were Jubilee starts. Queen Elizabeth II is no more and the streets of Britannia are ruled by the subcultural punks and fascist policemen. With the media as the controller of the world. The punks are doing everything what someone will do when he/she got bored. Just killing people or hanging around in lousy bars en clubs. Nothing human is them strange. Jubilee screams “Anarchy In The UK” in all its faeces. A visionary of an country in decay, where the music is played loud enough, to ignore the sounds of the world falling apart. Of course a OchCult movie can’t without some torture, sodomy and blasphemy and Jubilee delivers this, so all of you could watch this movie with a peaced hart.

Some notable punk icons appears in this movie. Among others Jordan, Toyah Willcox and introducing Adam Ant. Making this movie not only a milestone in british cinema, but also a true reflection of the punk era. Enjoy Jarman’s vision of no future.

Warning:
This movie contains random acts of hosmo. People thinking you’ll catch hosmo by viewing it, should leave this flick untouched, before you meets his maker.
