Infectious documentary that follows the fans of Depeche Mode. Review and UK screening details!

Words: Billy Chainsaw

Okay, we know some of you would rather gouge out your eyes than watch a documentary about Depeche Mode fans. However, if you did that, you’d not only be doing yourself damage but also missing out on a truly infectious viewing experience. Brit filmmakers Nicholas Abrahams and Jeremy Deller’s The Posters Came from the Walls is a passionate, poignant and extremely entertaining celebration of how worshipping a band can end up being both a life changing and a life saving experience.

We’re not talking about your average loner that pines in his/her bedsit hanging on Morrissey’s every word. No, these are kids who live in such countries as Russia, Romania and Iran, where open adulation of a rock band and daring to be different means putting your life on the line with the authorities. It’s like a flashback to the UK circa ’77, when public punk beatings swept the nation, turning even Johnny Rotten into a victim – attacked in the street by an outraged mob with blades and a broken bottle.

Granted, there’s no denying that the sight of countless huddles of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore dead-ringers is Children of the Damned creepy, but what Abrahams and Deller’s documentary gloriously reveals is how the unifying power of fandom is not something to be scoffed at.
