Quadrophenia (Special Edition) (1979)

"It’s a celebration of energy, the energy of youth," describes director Franc Roddam, talking about his generation in the DVD’s rich commentary track that revisits the Mod phenomenon and describes working with Pete Townsend and the Who. The energy was generated by rewriting on the fly and improvising with his hungry young cast. Sting (instantly iconic as supercool Mod leader Ace) also reminisces in a short new interview. You can click the thoroughly modern "pop- up" subtitle track for film trivia on the fly, or tour back to the swinging ’60s through a funky Vespa featurette, a well-documented compendium of British mod films, an animated location map contrasting now-and-then, and the tongue-in- cheek quiz "Are you a Mod or a Rocker?" And for one last jolt of youthful energy, take the time-lapse London to Brighton tour, all amped-up 60 seconds of it.
