Quadrophenia

Screening Dates:
Sat 7 September 6:00pm

Director: Frank Roddam
Starring: Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash, Philip Davis

Acclaimed at the time of its release as being the most exciting, stirring and perceptive youth film since Rebel Without A Cause, Quadrophenia was the sensational feature debut from Franc Roddam.

Like Tommy before it, the film was based on a concept album by The Who and became an instant cult classic both here and in America, influencing an entire generation of filmmakers.

Deliberately naturalistic, the film centres on a remarkable recreation of the world of the Mods and Rockers in the mid ’60s, brilliantly capturing the essence of the era and starkly portraying the notorious pitched battles on the Brighton seafront. Featuring superb performances by a then unknown cast, Quadrophenia is showing in a brand new print, regraded by cinematographer Brian Tufano.

Quadrophenia is being screened to tie in with Northampton Museum and Art Gallery’s current exhibition exploring all things Mod.
