Name required. Search for:. Tokyo Fox. While the rioters get hemmed in by the law, Jimmy finally manages a quickie with Steph in the narrow alley by number 11 , leading to Little East Street. Once nameless and unremarkable, this narrow little passageway is now named Quadrophenia Alley and the amount of graffiti bears evidence to what a shrine the place has become to fans of the film. Back in London , Jimmy struggles to recapture the buzz of Brighton.

He's given the brush off from Steph, who clearly didn't find the alleyway quickie as the life-changing event Jimmy assumed it was, on quiet little Orchid Street on the Wormholt Estate W12 , north of Uxbridge Road just west of Shepherd's Bush.

Shattered he rides his scooter distractedly south on nearby Gravesend Road. With his beloved scooter is trashed, Jimmy catches the train to Brighton from Paddington Station — though no trains run to the south coast from here Brighton trains leave from Victoria. Flights: Heathrow Airport ; Gatwick Airport. Visit: London. Travelling : Transport For London. Visit: Sussex. Visit: East Sussex. Visit: Brighton. Most notable was the entire deletion of almost all of the dialogue from Ace Face played by Sting , including 2 extended scenes from the police van and one of all the mods meeting up on their scooters before going to Brighton.

Supposedly, the reason that all of Ace Face's dialogue was deleted was that Sting and the producers both agreed that this ruined his 'mysterious' character that he was playing and also may have taken the focus of the protagonist of the story, Jimmy.

Connections Featured in Talking Pictures: Episode 1. User reviews Review. Top review. What a wonderful film. If you ever thought you were safe, or that your world was impregnable, then you must see this film. Watch as every important elements of a young man's Jimmy's life is stripped away, piece by piece, until he has no anchor, no magnet, and no direction in life. Without his familiar crutches hooliganism, drugs, girlfriends, Mod clansmen, job, parents, home and 'scooter' , Jimmy is faced with a terrifying realization that he - alone - must completely rebuild and reinvent himself.

In a way that is hard to describe in words, director Franc Roddam exposes the raw core of life, unadorned by all the temporal things by which we measure success, worth and happiness. Better still, he forces the viewer to examine the very definition of 'a life'.

The movie generates ever increasing momentum, culminating in one of the most intensely disturbing realizations ever captured on film, with the white cliffs of Dover as the foreground, and the The Who's equally monumental and haunting "Love Reign O'er Me" in the background.

With the possible exception of Bill Murray's version of "The Razor's Edge", this is about as perfect a chance as we are ever afforded to examine the foundations of our own lives Though this is not an uncommon cinematic theme, it has never been so brilliantly achieved.

An emotional and spiritual tour de force, and simply one of the best films ever made. Details Edit. Release date November 2, United States. United Kingdom. Quadrophenia: A Way of Life. The Who Films Polytel.
