Quote:

Disc jockey Robert (David Beames) may be investigating the mysterious death of his brother, but his attention to detail is foggy at best -- much like the surrounding English gray winter. Robert claims to be tracking clues but seems more interested in music than the blatantly obvious clues right in front of him. Director Christopher Petit's grim tale of a man disconnecting with society features music from '80s icons such as David Bowie and Devo.

Quote:

Ripe for rediscovery, Christopher Petit's post-punk journey RADIO ON (1979) has become a cult film since its initial release and is one of the most striking feature debuts in British cinema. Co-produced by Wim Wenders and
featuring Sting's first film performance, RADIO ON is austere in narrative and captures the lurking disenchantment of the British youth movements of the time.

RADIO ON was stunningly photographed in luminous black and white monochrome by Martin Schaefer (Wenders' cinematographer), and driven by a startling soundtrack (Bowie, Kraftwerk, Lene Lovich, Ian Dury, Wreckless Eric and more). Petit's anti-road movie follows a London DJ (David Bearnes) as he travels to Bristol to investigate the mysterious death of his brother, and offers a unique, compelling and even mythic vision of a late 1970s England.
