"The year was 1964, and the battle was just beginning."Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels) is about to go over the edge. His Italian scooter, bespoke suit, and other Mod trappings make for a bit of rebellion against working-class English surroundings. Jimmy takes flight with his mates, his pills, and his idol, Ace Face. But it's a flight to nowhere, culminating in a headline-making clash between the Mods and their mortal enemies, the leather-clad Rockers.
"This energetic human drama was adapted from - and features - The Who's seminal Quadrophenia, including the anthems "My Generation," "The Real Me," and "Love Reign O'er Me." Quadrophenia bursts with all the tragic frustration and irrepressible euphoria of youth on the verge of adulthood.
"Starring Phil Daniels, Mark Wingett, Leslie Ash, and Michael Elphick. Music directed by Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Pete Townshend. Screenplay by Dave Humpries, Martin Stellman, and Franc Roddam. Produced by Roy Baird and Bill Curbishley. Directed by Franc Roddam.
