CGiii Comment

Still shit after all these odd years - and, really rather detestable.

Why...because of the time...the discontent, the malcontent and the mini-riot that was punk...British-style.

It's like watching a smorgasbord of the up and coming...British-style.

It could be construed as important, it's just a matter of opinion...audiences - now - are not so discontented...or, are they?

Jarman will always be missed...few directors have his vision, his drive and his ability to rock the boat...he was a voice...

Jubilee will leave you cringing...for many different reasons.

The(ir) Blurb...

Queen Elizabeth I travels to late twentieth-century Britain to discover a tawdry and depressing landscape where life mostly seems aimless and is anyway held cheap. Three post-punk girls while away their vacuous existence as best they can, from time-to-time straying into murder to relieve the boredom.
