Depeche Mode: 1982 “The Beginning of Their So-Called Dark Phase…”

About This Movie

So, this documentary dives into the making of Depeche Mode's second album, 'A Broken Frame.' It's interesting because you get a glimpse of the band post-Vince Clarke's departure, which adds a certain tension to the atmosphere. The pacing is pretty mellow, allowing for those candid interviews to shine. You hear from Clarke himself, which is a real treat, and then there's Alan Wilder who joined the fold, adding layers to their creative process. The vibe throughout feels reflective, almost somber, like they're navigating new territory. Fans of the band will appreciate the behind-the-scenes insights and the rawness of the conversations. It's not flashy, but that’s part of its charm, you know?
