Disappointing Jarman
Let me start off by saying I love Derek Jarman’s work. Caravaggio and Edward II are among my favorite films. But he, like a lot of filmmakers, just didn’t get punk. I realize that this movie is about more than punk and what it has to say about society and class is important. But dressing people up in torn clothes and playing any generic loud/fast music does not equal punk. Having so many non-actors in important roles doesn’t help either. If you want a film that gets what punk rock is about, has something to say about society, and has great music, try Rude Boy.
A real chore to sit through.
I would struggle to class this as an actual movie. It appears to something more like an art-school project gone wrong, made by a bunch of friends who had lots of ideas about what they felt might be cool to see, but no way of turning this into a coherent plot. These scenes include girls boxing(badly), punks killing policemen, punks trying to pull the doors off a car (and failing), random murders, a bingo hall being shot up, some of the worst sex scenes since The Room and lots of bizarre poetical ramblings while someone dressed as a Queen tries to look interesting. The blurb suggests this about a Queen travelling into the future to see what has became of England. Although on viewing, there is very little of the Queen throughout the movie and she seems to have zero interaction with the main protagonists. The problem with this seems to be that she is superfluous to the story and really should have been edited out, as this film is far too long for what it contains. The main reason people may have an interest in this movie is the fact it has a few faces from the punk scene like Adam Ant and a harder to recognise Toyah Wilcox. Neither put in a good performance however they are very young in this movie and cant really pull off a convincing performance. Overall, the acting is this movie is terrible. It seems to consist of actors (unsure how many were actually actors?) either being overly aggressive or bursting into hysterical laughter for unknowable reasons. The musical scenes are instantly forgettable and do not seem to have any relevance to the plot. The only part of the movie which has anything like a plot comes towards the the end when the punks seek retribution on the police for a wrong doing. The violence and gore in the movie is mainly pointless and not convincing. The movie tries to shock but fails miserably. There really isn’t much to recommend this, its not even in the so bad its good category. Its long, boring and pretentious and very surprising it has such a high rating.
