We just watched Jubilee, the Derek Jarman film that depicts modern-day Britain as a nihilistic apocalypse. It's really, really good, and features such punk rock icons as Jordan, Adam Ant and Jayne County. But the movie is completely overrun by Toyah Wilcox, who plays a deranged pyromaniac named Mad, a performance made even more remarkable given the fact that she was a complete novice in the punk scene when the movie was shot. You'd never know from the video for her smash single "Brave New World" though, filmed some years after <i>Jubilee</i> for her Changeling record. Spooky!
