Oh Britain, up yours! A murderous girl gang runs wild in a fascistic, post-apocalyptic England in Derek Jarman’s decadent, defiantly bad taste punk fantasia.
Oh Britain, up yours! Queen Elizabeth I is zapped 400 years into the future to England after the Fall: a flaming, fascistic hellscape where a nihilistic punk girl gang runs wild committing mayhem, murder, and sacrilege (while still finding time for the occasional game of Monopoly). By turns savagely funny and furiously angry, Derek Jarman’s punk fantasia is a transgressive mash-up of styles: New Wave meets New Romantic meets camp outrageousness meets queer paganism for a decadent, defiantly bad-taste apocalyptic vision. Adding to the film’s cool cred, the cast features icons like Toyah Willcox and Adam Ant; there are cameos from post-punkers The Slits and Siouxsie and the Banshees; and the score is by Brian Eno.
