Excellent
I hated this film when I saw it as a teenager back in 1979. The reason was the movie was realistic–too realistic! I identified (in some respects) with the main character Jimmy, and his life was bleak and depressing. Seeing it over 20 years later, I love it! It’s a superb mix of the 1960s British “Angry Young Men” films, the Who’s great album and 1979 sensibilities. It’s about Jimmy (excellent performance by Phil Daniels) and his friends. It takes place in 1964 London and there are constant battles between the Mods (Jimmy and friends) and the Rockers. The film is full of violence, sex, VERY strong language (good luck with the accents), anger, alienation…the works. However, there is a strong sense of humor (a break in at a drug store is hilarious) and it does have a (sort of) happy ending. But it is very dark and depressing.The music score is excellent. It’s not just the Who, but other 1960s groups are used also. The direction by Franc Roddam is wonderful–it perfectly merges the music, imagery and story (especially with “Love, Reign Over Me”). My only real complaint–why not use the whole album “Quadrophenia”? Only about 1/8 of the two record set is used! Also interesting to see Sting in his first movie. Don’t miss this one!
