Slade In Flame12A

Directed by Richard Loncraine | UK | 1974 | 1h 30m | Starring Noddy Holder, Dave Hill, Don Powell, Jim Lea, Tom Conti

At the peak of their fame, glam-rock legends Slade confounded audiences with this gritty, no-glamour music drama that’s been hailed as “the Citizen Kane of British pop movies.” Set in the late 1960s, it follows the meteoric rise and messy implosion of a band caught in the ruthless machinery of the music industry. Far from a vanity project, this is a raw, cynical take on fame and exploitation, delivered with swagger and soul by the band themselves. Newly restored by the BFI, this cult classic roars back to the screen in all its jagged, electrifying glory.
