The Last of England is a 1987 British arthouse film directed by Derek Jarman and starring Tilda Swinton.

It is a poetic depiction of what Jarman felt was the loss of traditional English culture in the 1980s and his anger about Thatcher's England,[1][2] including the formation of Section 28 Local Government Act.

[3] One of the film's most famous scenes is of Tilda Swinton as a bride mourning her executed husband.

The LP has one side ("Bombers") by Simon Turner, and the other ("Diplomat") by a variety of performers, including Mayo Thompson with Albert Oehlen and Tilda Swinton; Andy Gill with Dean Garcia, Barry Adamson and Martin McCarrick, Brian Gulland and Diamanda Galas.

The CD version includes all of this material and a third section, "Dead to the World", primarily by Turner.
