Trivia
Designer Vivienne Westwood created her famous 'Open T shirt to Derek Jarman from Vivienne Westwood', a white cotton sleeveless t-shirt with a very negative review of the film printed on it. This t-shirt is now housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, where it is item T.104-2002. See more »Goofs

I can think of a great many words to describe Jubilee. Yet the one that I most want to scream is pretentious art-house crap. All these borderline masturbatory gushing reviews for this pap smear of a "film". why? because it "thinks outside the box", or "in your face", or "poetry in action"?? The former two might be true, the latter one is NOT. This film is not punk, it's tripe. Tripe of the worst kind boring, inane, idiotic tripe.
My Grade: F
DVD Extras: "Jubilee: A time less Golden" Documentary; Jordan's Dance (a super-8 short); theatrical trailer; shooting script; costume sketches; Continuity stills; "a new wave movie" (a collection of odds & ends)
