Based on the Who’s 1973 rock opera of the same name and set in London in 1964, Quadrophenia depicts a period of emotional turmoil in the life of Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels). He is a young mod who escapes from his dead-end job as a postroom boy by dancing, partying, taking amphetamines, riding his scooter and brawling with rockers. Brighton Scooter Run, where the Mods and the Rockers converge, ending in the Battle of the Cults on Brighton Beach. What goes up must come down, and with Jimmy’s come-down, his life is turned around, and so begins his downward spiral into paranoia, isolation, and the four-faceted mindset: Quadrophenia.
