Quadrophenia
Phil Daniels is a pill-popping, scooter-riding Mod coming to terms with growing up, who heads off with his mates for a headline-grabbing clash in Brighton with the so-called Rockers. A compelling adaptation of the Who's classic rock opera, featuring Sting as the Mod's supercool leader. With an inspired soundtrack by the Who, and startling images of the streetfighting between Mods and Rockers in 1964 England.
