I honestly thought this film was total trash until I heard the line: "As long as the music's loud enough, we won't hear the world falling apart." and suddenly I find myself seeing what I couldn't see before.

blending my favourite themes under one movie: ideology, fantasy, and music.

best time travel movie ever! well, second if you count La Jetee. Not quite has intriguing and beautiful as Sebastiane, nor deliciously surreal as Angelic Conversations, but still pretty cool.

masterpiece. this film is both one of utter poetic beauty and the sadness that jarman presents on the anarchic mess that his nation england has become at the hands of those who disgust his values. his films always have such an ability to present the core of the cinema in such a raw and simple yet viscerally masterful way. as a presentation of an apocalyptic nation falling apart and destroying itself, this is perfect.

My favorite Jarman so far. Over the top, almost pretentious, but rich in images and discourse. Amazing soundtrack.

this film is incredibly English which, i think, makes it hard to comprehend if you're American. Hell, I didn't even know what the title meant until I watched the documentary...but it was nice to watch a film about English punk that didn't involve malcolm mclaren and the sex pistols...it really shows you that Americans don't know much about punk and it truely a upper class creation as most movements are.

A rough, ragged and often unfocused rage, which nevertheless is a small gem of eclecticism - a magpie's nest of collected thoughts, ideas and idioms.

I will say that the images and moments have stayed in my head longer than some movies that I've loved, I found it an unpleasant film to watch and wouldn't return to it anytime soon.

Director Derek Jarman's cult oddity is an uninspired hodge-podge of forced weirdness. For all the offbeat imagery Jarman hurls at the screen, it's slow-paced and dull, with annoying performances and tacky political satire. An irritating bore.
