Must have been a couple of years after Jubilee (still can't shake the image of a boyish Toyah Wilcox helping suffocate Adam Ant with a PVC body sheet). That whole scene around Jarman at the time seems like it must have been a blast. I guess Faithful kept abreast of the London underground after Girl on a Motorcycle (how in the hell did that movie spawn from the mind of David Lean's soft-spoken, charming cinematographer?). That montage kind of reminds me a bit of the city art happenings in the first half of Throw Away The Books, Let's Rally in the Streets. It's always inspiring to me seeing heads like that trying to remedy the total anomie cities can inspire you with if you're not careful. I wish I got to be part of a Jarman happening, but the closest I ever got to that was visiting my folks who were juggling in a scene in that Jarman movie with Quentin Crisp as Queen Elizabeth. 'course they got cut out.
