These were the four main provisions of the Year of Jubilee: a year of sabbath for the land and for the people, release from all debt, a returning of every slave to his family, and the return of every man to his possession and inheritance.
The sound of the trumpet was the welcome and soul-stirring signal for the captive to escape, for the slave to cast aside the chains of his bondage, for the man-slayer to return to his home, for the ruined and poverty stricken to rise to the possession of his forfeited inheritance.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Jubilee
Jubilee (1978), Britain's only decent punk film, still isn't respected at home as much as it should be, and it remains pretty obscure everywhere else.
Where Jubilee differs from, say, John Waters’ films is in Jarman's reluctance to play up the humour: like a confrontational BBC TV play, the film seems more concerned with shocking the serious-minded.
Ultimately, Jubilee is not pure Jarman: it is riotous rather than deliberate in its subversiveness, and it celebrates bi- and heterosexual promiscuity rather than homoeroticism (which is significant, given the rest of Jarman's oeuvre).
