Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In 1965, at the Eurovision contest France Gall sang: “My heart is recorded in my grooves”. Mods plays these grooves in repeat mode, to let the echoes resonate, echoes of the eternal adolescent refrain: rage, frustration, fear.
Transposing the attitude of the 1960s working class movement from which it takes its name to an undisclosed time and place, Mods swaps out The Who for American garage-punk as its music of choice. Inspired by the Nouvelle Vague, this musical journey is replete with Hal Hartley-style musical numbers.
