QUADROPHENIA (WIDESCREEN)

Details

• Release Year: 1979
• Genre: Drama, Music
• Plot: Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels) is primed to go off the edge. The Italian scooter, bespoke suit and the other trappings of being Mod make for a subversive rebellion against his British working class surroundings. But even the pills and fleeting moments with his mates don't ease the assault of growing pains that are deepening his alienation. It only gets messier when he finally joins one of the headline making seaside clashes of 1964 between the Mods and their mortal enemies, the motorcycle-cruising, leather-clad Rockers. A reality check of his idol, the smooth Ace Face hastens Jimmy's identity crisis.; ; Among the most definitive films on a youth cult, this human drama adapted from and featuring The Who's seminal Quadrophenia (including the anthemic 'My Generation,' 'The Real Me,' and 'Love Reign O'er Me'), bursts with all the tragic frustration and irrepressible euphoria of youth on the verge of adulthood.
