In conception the film remains highly original, and it does deliver enough of the goods to sail effortlessly away with the title of Britain's first official punk movie.

Queen Elizabeth I is transported through time from 1578 to 1978. There, she finds a very different Britain from her own—a depressing landscape of moral degradation and violent anarchy. Add to that sex, drugs, and punk rock and you have Jubilee.

An anarchic and hilariously bleak critique of Britain's punk movement, featuring many of the icons of the movement itself. Toyah Willcox is a standout as a violent and quick tempered woman aptly named Mad, and Adam Ant sings a great song called Plastic Surgery that I wish was available on Apple Music.
