It's
a kaleidoscopic experimental film, a dark, poetic meditation on Thatcher
England. References to
the Falklands War, drugs, bombs and the Royal Wedding all indicate the state of
Britain today. The film tracks a nation destroyed by its imperial
heritage, militaristic bureaucracy locking with the urban dispossessed in a
desperate battle for survival. Using a mixture of childhood home movies and
footage of decaying, run down cities, Jarman compiles a fragmented picture
of how things used to be, compared to how things are, in his opinion, in
the now of the 1980s.
Last of England is an eloquent cry of anguish from one of the most accomplished British filmmakers of the 1980s.

又译作《最后的英格兰》。
这是一部万花筒般的实验电影,也是对撒切尔的英格兰的阴郁而诗意的冥想。福可兰战役,毒品,炸弹还有皇家婚礼,无不是对今日不列颠的隐喻。影片追踪了一个国家的毁灭,它毁灭在帝国传统和军国主义官僚政治的手上,城市中的难民绝望地陷入求生的战斗中。Jarman混合使用了童年家庭录像和衰败城市的镜头编辑成一些支离破碎的画面,告诉我们在他的眼中,事物原来是什么样,1980年代的现在它们又是什么样。
《英伦末路》是1980年代一位最有造诣的英国导演痛苦而又雄辩的一声呐喊。
