London, 1965: Like many other youths, Jimmy hates the philistine life, especially his parents and his job in a companys mailing division. Only when hes together with his friends, a Mod clique, cruising London on his motor-scooter and hearing music such as that of The Who and The High Numbers, does he feel free and accepted. However, its a flight into an illusionary world.
Director Franc Roddam has assembled an array of young British acting talents who bring back Londons 1960s Mods and Rockers. Set against the soundtrack of The Whos 1973 high-concept album "Quadrophenia", Phil Daniels plays working-class Jimmy, a drug-using 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; hes always on a high, and life cannot get any better. Then comes the Brighton Scooter Run, where the Mods and the Rockers converge, ending in the Battle of the Cults on Brighton Beach. What goes up must come down, and with Jimmys come-down, his life is turned around, and so begins his downward spiral into paranoia, isolation, and the four-faceted mindset: Quadrophenia. With its extremely realistic language, violent overtones, and classic 1960s soundtrack, this illness is bound to be contagious. Come along for the ride.
