Review of Quadrophenia (1979) by David S — 23 Aug 2011
From the social reality of Ken Loach to the unexpurgated depiction of teenage reality as the optimism of the 60s descends into the new realities of post-industrial Britain, this is a pure lesson to all parents, teachers, self-appointed custodians of the imaginary world of Britain when 'We' still had an Empire.
This Was The 60s. The music was raw, no need for punk artificiality. And the questions are posed - are teenagers innately bad, or just waiting for their right time? Is the disillusioned teenager driven to extremes by society just waiting to grow up, or will he descend to Alex; advanced thuggery and need the Clockwork Orange treatment?
