October 20: QUADROPHENIA
This film version of the Who’s rock opera QUADROPHENIA makes a few tentative stabs at “explaining” the alienation of 1960s British working-class youth, but its major selling point is its nonstop rock and R&B musical score, including the hit single “Love Reign O’er Me.” If you aren’t fascinated by the visual pyrotechnics of QUADROPHENIA, just close your eyes and revel to the soundtrack music of the Who, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, the Chiffons, Manfred Man, and many others.

October 27: VELVET GOLDMINE
In 1984, British journalist Arthur Stuart investigates the career of 1970s glam superstar Brian Slade, who was heavily influenced in his early years by hard-living and rebellious American singer Curt Wild. Todd Haynes wrote and directed this glitzy re-creation of London’s glam-rock scene of the ’70s. The all-star cast includes Christian Bale, Eddie Izzard, Ewan McGregor, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Toni Collette. The soundtrack features music by Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Brian Eno and more.
