series A Quick One, While The Who’s in Town
Directed by Franc Roddam
With Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash, Philip Davis, Mark Wingett, Sting
One of the more enduring cult movies and that rare rock ’n’ roll film that rings true years later.
—The New York Times
Inspired by what many consider to be the last great album by The Who (and the most ambitious of their rock operas), this classic portrait of British mod culture and the disaffected youth of early-60s London centers on three angsty, drug-addled friends, their antisocial antics, and their violent encounters with a rival group. A brilliant coming-of-age drama, Quadrophenia gives cinematic life to The Who’s aggressive double album with gritty, unsentimental realism that bears the influence of Tony Richardson and Ken Loach.
