DESCRIPTION
It's 35 years since director Franc Roddam shot 'Quadrophenia' on the streets of London and Brighton – and along the way created a classic of British cinema adored by music and film fans alike. Inspired by the 1973 The Who album of the same name, the film tells of Jimmy (Phil Daniels), a troubled west London mod in 1965 who's struggling in life and love and joins his mates for a dust-up with rockers one Bank Holiday weekend down in Brighton.   Last month, HiBROW with Time Out and the London Film School brought Roddam and some of his key collaborators together for a one-off reunion screening of the film at South Kensington's Ciné Lumière. Of the cast, singer-actress Toyah Wilcox and actors Phil Davis ('Vera Drake', 'Whitechapel') and Mark Wingett ('The Bill') all recalled the production process including the controlled, chaos and humour of filming the movie's fight scenes. Roddam was also joined by the film's editor Sean Barton, co-writer with Roddam, Martin Stellman and the film's producer Bill Curbishley who is the manager of The Who.
  Dave Calhoun, HiBROW's curator separately interviewed all these creative protagonists who collectively gave insights into the film's production processes and enthused about the brilliance and cinematic energy of Roddam's directorial approach.
