Plot

A film essay on Britain under Thatcher.

Sinekatalog’s take

Derek Jarman's angry film essay uses grainy Super 8, ruined London and Tilda Swinton's wild bride to attack Thatcher's Britain. Raw, apocalyptic and poetic, it is a rough, harsh, unforgettable cry of protest.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
