Description:
The film features thirteen recordings by the band Smiths, half recorded live in clubs. These alternate with five rock videos: two directed by Derek Jarman ("Panic" and "Ask"), two by Tim Broad ("Girlfriend in a Coma" and "Stop Me..."), and one by Paula Grief and Richard Levine ("How Soon Is Now?"). It ends with Jarman's short film, "The Queen Is Dead," accompanied by a three-song soundtrack. The rock videos, especially Jarman's, are characterized by layered images, shifting colors, and a lack of clear story, driven by the music's rhythm. They present collages of modern alienation: androgyny, dancing children, smokestacks, graffiti, angry youth, and a young woman in a cap.
