Review of Jubilee (2000) by Jacob G — 06 Oct 2013
Odd little film.
Intriguing without being compelling, Jubilee showcases derelict England and punk culture. It's best viewed as a sequence of vignettes, linked by recurring characters. Attempting to find a typical plot arc will yield disappointment.
It's a film that holds the viewer at arm's length, yet still manages to reveal a variety of interesting characters. The scenarios aren't too interesting by themselves, but become relatively engaging by the way characters interact.
It's still a film you have to work to like, but some excellent musical showcases do a good job of helping to smooth the ride.
