The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 37 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

In Liverpool there's a gang war between the Mods (who dress in the latest fashions and styles) and the Rockers (who are more into the '50s "greaser" look). Ricky, the son of a wealthy businessman, is a Mod guitar player, and in a gang fight with some Rockers, his girlfriend is killed. He leaves Liverpool for the continent and winds up in Rome, where he becomes involved with his father's mistress.
