My Generation

London of the 60s is a holiday of disobedience, a sleepless city painted in previously unthinkable colors. A musical and fashion capital, where the gods are The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and the goddesses are Twiggy and Marianne Faithfull. Rock and roll and free love shattered the class system, and for the first time in the history of British cinema, a hero with Michael Cain's working background and his characteristic reprimand could appear on the screen. For the first time, an actor could proudly speak a proletarian cockney and be a superstar. This voice, familiar from the Ipcress Dossier and Alfie, is the voice behind the scenes of My Generation, a highly personal film starring Paul McCartney, David Bailey, Mary Quant and Roger Daltrey. Unique interviews with the heroes of the "British invasion", the best music and London seen through the eyes of Michael Caine, a man who survived the 60s.
