Episode 024 - Quadrophenia (1979)
Episode description
Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism.
In this episode, Steven has selected Quadrophenia from 1979
An angst-ridden London youth, Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels) escapes the drudgery of his postal job as a member of the Mods, a sharply dressed gang constantly at odds with their rivals, the Rockers. When the Mods and Rockers clash in the coastal town of Brighton, England, it leads to both trouble and an encounter with the lovely Steph (Leslie Ash). Returning to London, Jimmy, who aspires to be like Mod leader Ace Face (Sting), becomes even more disillusioned and longs to return to Brighton.
