Slade In Flame PG

Described as ‘the Citizen Kane of British pop movies’ by critic Mark Kermode, Slade in Flame both confounded and delighted audiences when it was released in 1975, at the height of the legendary glam-rock band’s success, starring the band themselves, this was a music film like no other.

Charting the rise and fall of a pop group at the end of the 1960s, this darkly cynical, warts-and-all portrait of a band in freefall amidst the music-industry suits who want a piece of the pie was not what anybody was expecting.

Featureing a remarkable soundtrack stuffed with high-octane Slade boot-stompers, Slade in Flame returns to the big screen in a blaze of glory, newly remastered by the BFI from original film materials.
