QUADROPHENIA
(Dir.Frank Roddam,1979)
With Phil Daniels, Leslie Ash, Ray Winstone, Sting.
Director Franc Roddam has brought us an array of young British acting talents who bring back London's nineteen-sixties Mods and Rockers.
Set against the soundtrack of The Who's 1973 mighty concept album "Quadrophenia", Phil Daniels plays working-class Jimmy, the drug-induced Mod, who hates his job and is misunderstood by his parents.
But by night, he comes alive, with the all-nighters, his pills and his scooter-riding friends. Always on a high, life can't get any better.
Then there's the Brighton scooter run, where both Mods and Rockers converge, ending in the battle of the cults on Brighton Beach. What goes up must come down, and with Jimmy's come-down, his life is turned around, and so begins his four-faceted mindset: Quadrophenia.

And the Ship Sails On...
(Dir. Federico Fellini, Italy 1984,127 minutes, Italian with English subtitles)
In Fellini’s quirky, imaginative fable, a motley crew of European aristocrats (and a lovesick rhinoceros!) board a luxurious ocean liner on the eve of World War I to scatter the ashes of a beloved opera diva.
Fabricated entirely in Rome’s famed Cinecittà studios, And the Ship Sails On (E la nave va) reaches spectacular new visual heights with its stylized re-creation of a decadent bygone era. A Fellini's must see.
