Depeche Mode: 1983 “Teenagers Growing Up, Bad Government… and All That Stuff.”

About This Movie

So, this documentary takes you back to 1983, when Depeche Mode was evolving, and Alan Wilder was stepping up as a full member. It's not just a bunch of concert clips; there's this raw and gritty feel that permeates it. You can sense the band experimenting with their sound during the making of 'Construction Time Again.' The use of sampling is fascinating. The pacing is kind of reflective, giving space for those moments that really capture the essence of youth grappling with societal issues. Interesting visuals and a pretty authentic vibe make it stand out from other music docs. It definitely has its own quirky charm, almost like a time capsule of a particular moment in music history.
