The Boat That Rocked is a new film written and directed by Richard Curtis of Four Weddings & A Funeral & Black Adder fame.
The film includes a great ensemble cast including Nick Frost, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, the wonderful Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Gemma Arterton.
The Boat That Rocked is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the ’60s and pop music.
It’s about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain, playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that, incomprehensibly, preferred jazz.
