Colorful British subculture.

Rating: 8/10 (7 May 2010)

Worth the soundtrack alone. In the mid 1960s, the sounds of rock 'n' roll and British pop created small bands of "pirate" radio stations off shore. The great big BBC gave the Brits all the news and proper culture they thought the country needed. But do you think they would waste airtime for the decadent uprising called rock 'n' roll? One such off shore station on a rust-bucket fishing trawler christened Radio Rock. Multi-national disc jockeys bombarded the airwaves around the clock. The rude and crude crew of air personalities quickly attained the status of national idols for the youth culture.
A strong cast featuring the likes of: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh, Rhys Darby, Nick Frost, Lucy Fleming and Michael Hadley shared the screen with soon-to-be classic tunes by such artists as The Kinks, The Turtles, The Hollies, The Who, Dusty Springfield, Jimi Hendrix and The Moody Blues. This is the type of movie you can just close your eyes and enjoy the outstanding soundtrack. PIRATE RADIO brings back "the" time.
