Jarman was easily one of Britian's most distinctive of film directors. DVD review.

Ancient royalty time travels to England, 1977 and doesn't get what's expected.

Featuring soon to be famous faces: singers Toyah and Adam Ant, and Chariots Of Fire lead Ian Charleson (in nude scenes). Band The Slits play a group of street toughs - typical girls! The best moment in the movie featured a pre-stardom Adam And The Ants (when they were a punk band). Like most of Jarman's other movies Jubilee isn't technically that good but there's plenty of wild imagination.

Jubilee is a curious punk movie.
