It spoke of a stark fatalism imbued with fury, frustration, and a deep distrust in the current status quo. Chris Goode\u2019s adaptation of Derek Jarman\u2019s 1978 film Jubilee toys with this articulation, hurtling the punk movement into a future that seemingly shouldn\u2019t exist, to see how it survives.<\/p>\n<p>Goode\u2019s adaptation spars with Jarman\u2019s film, keeping faithful to the central tenets of the piece while modernizing it to reflect the current age.
