Sky Arts last night devoted a whole evening to the film bringing together much of the original cast. Brilliant watching.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

It’s a strange film, hallucinatory in parts. Occasionally it switches to black and white which some critics found very meaningful - the director, Lindsay Anderson, later said was because he’d run out of money.

Ah, the black n white scene in the café, with the waitress, the school guv'ness in the boys changing room. I do remember other bits as well

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

Quadrophenia was for me always one of those "I can't believe you've never watched it" films. Then a friend lent me the DVD a year or so ago. Sorry, but I found it really boring.
