Quadrophenia (Criterion Collection)

Sting, Phil Daniels, Ray Winstone. This is the band The Who’s classic rock opera about a lad enthralled with swingin’ London in the early ’60s with its fashion forward, pill-popping mods on mopeds who clash with motorcycle-riding rockers in Brighton. This newly-restored digital transfer is uncut with a variety of bonus extras. Includes audio commentary featuring director Franc Roddam and Tufano, new interview with Bill Curbishley, the film’s coproducer and the Who’s comanager, segments pulled from a 1979 episode of the BBC series Talking Pictures and another from a 1964 episode from the French news program Sept jours du monde about mods and rockers, a booklet with an essay by critic Howard Hampton, Pete Townshend’s liner note from the 1973 album, and more. 2 DVDs. 1979/color/120 min/R/widescreen.
