Review of Quadrophenia (1979) by Tony P — 28 Oct 2014
Film based on The Who opera about the real life events from southern England and the battles in Brighton between gangs of Mods and Rockers.
The film revolves around the central character of Jimmy played by Phil Daniels.
Jimmy is your typical Mod but we see his descent into a drugged up violent tempered ending.
A smuttering of Cockney stars (and Sting) make up the cast. Look out for a youthful looking Nasty Nick Cotton and Jim Carver off The Bill.
The soundtrack makes the film though. The Who deserve recognition.
