CAN YOU SEE THE REAL ME? IF SO, HAND ME MY BIFOCALS: British mod movie Quadrophenia sequel is being made – 37 years after the original.
I loved the original, which is a brilliant “coming of age” film set during a once-little known period of British pop culture and builds on the incredible atmosphere of The Who’s 1973 double album. (It’s an even bigger triumph when compared to Ken Russell’s craptacular Tommy movie, released just a few years prior, when the Who were at the apogee of their career). But I’ve got a bad feeling about a sequel at this late date, to coin a phrase popularized by another film during the late ‘70s.
