4 out of 5 stars Definitely Radio ON!!!   October 15, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

If you're looking for a movie to while away a dull couple of hours want some "easy viewing" then look elesewhere.br /br /However, if you a reminder of the bleakness of Britain in the early 80's then check this out. I was so taken with the photography soundtrack that the plot characters assumed a supporting role. br /br /Look at how bleak (not to mention empty!)the A4 looks also Bristol.This was very much the analogue age with cassette tapes, no mobile phones, service stations which were not self service, ....it's amazing.br /br /Yep, this is Britain as it was....br /br /


4 out of 5 stars Turn the radio 'back on'   June 4, 2008
  10 out of 10 found this review helpful

Ignore the previous review if you like serious film, 'Radio On' is a key British film of the 70's. A compelling look at Britain on the cusp of Thatcherism, and a rare document of the desolate state of the nation at that time. The performances are fine, and you can spot familiar faces galore from the cast (Sue the punk from Eastenders anyone?).br /br /Add to that, one of the finest soundtracks you could wish to hear, post-punk classics from Bowie, Devo, Lydia Lunch, Kraftwerk and more contribute to the overall feeling of nostalgia. Treasure this rarity available on DVD for the first time, and don't be put off with the fact that Mr Gordon Sumner stars in it, he doesn't get enough screen time to do his cameo spoilers a la Quadrophenia. br /br /Turn on, tune in and you won't drop off!br /


1 out of 5 stars Don't bother - switch the radio off   June 4, 2008
  2 out of 17 found this review helpful

As road trip movies go, this is possibly one of the worst you could see. It's incredibly slow, lacking in realistic scenario's and containing characters with no appeal whatsoever. The best bit is the appearance of a young Sting playing the part of a garage attendant who just happens to have a guitar. Aside from that, there is nothing to commend it in a genre that has some terrific films. If you want a quality road trip movie, check out some of the more recent releases from Argentina (historia minimas, familia rodante), Mexico (y tu mama tambien) or even the USA (transamerica), just drive on past Radio on !
