http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i186/broomers_photos/quadrophenia.jpg
Director: Franc Roddam
Writers: Dave Humphries and Martin Stellman
Cast
Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash, Philip Davis, Mark Wingett
Sting, Ray Winstone, Garry Cooper, Gary Shail
Toyah Willcox, Trevor Laird, Kate Williams, Michael Elphick
Plot
Director Franc Roddam has brought us an array of young
British acting talents who bring back London's nineteen sixties mods and rockers.
Set against the soundtrack of The Who's 1973 mighty concept album Quadrophenia.
Phil Daniels play's working class Jimmy, the drug-induced mod,
who hates his job and is misunderstood by his parents, but by night,
he comes alive, with the all-nighters, his pills and his scooter riding friends.
Always on a high, life can't get any better, then there's the Brighton scooter run,
where both mod's and rocker's converge, ending in the battle of the cults on Brighton beach.
What goes up must come down, and with Jimmy's comedown his life is turned around,
so begins his downward spiral into paranoia and isolation,
and the four faceted mindset: Quadrophenia. With its extremely realistic language
and violent overtones and classic sixties soundtrack this illness is bound to be contagious.
Come along for the ride.
