Satirically named for the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, crime, revolution and disorder are cast against a stiflingly conservative nation. Filmed on location, Jarman’s portrait of a crumbling monarchy includes vivid images of London’s grand icons alongside rubble-strewn areas of the city, markers of the Blitz over three decades earlier.

Influenced by the aesthetics and anti-establishment stance of punk, yet scorning its partial fascination with fascism, this messy, thrilling satire is the movement’s perfect incarnation and includes appearances and music by Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Slits, Jayne County (also to be seen and heard in City of Lost Souls at MQFF this year), Toyah Wilcox, Adam Ant and Brian Eno.
