It's All Gone Pete Tong
For dance music fans, Ibiza is mecca and it’s here that celebrity DJs ply their trade. It’s not easy to make it, but legendary spinmaster Frankie Wilde (Paul Kaye) has clawed his way to the top. Now he lives the opulent lifestyle with all the requisite accoutrements – a gorgeous villa, trophy wife, loads of money and fans. A remix genius, he is a superstar in his own right. But that is all about to change: Frankie Wilde is going deaf. It’s All Gone Pete Tong is a comedy that charts Frankie’s tragic life. Taking the form of an hilarious faux biopic, the film takes us from Frankie’s days as one of the best DJs alive through his battle with hearing loss and subsequent mysterious disappearance from the scene.
It’s All Gone Pete Tong shares some of the best elements of films such as Rob Reiner’s This is Spinal Tap and Michael Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People – a wonderfully irreverent, but affectionate, look at a scene and its music.
