IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG (2004)

MICHAEL DOWSE

Plot

Frankie Wilde is a ‘super' DJ, a star of the Ibiza scene he leads a life of coke fuelled hedonism that would make even the strongest constitution wince; but Frankie has a problem…he's going deaf. Refusing to acknowledge his predicament Frankie keeps going until he's literally thrown from the clubs he once ruled. It's All Gone Pete Tong is a dark twisted journey, in turns funny, freaky and tragic it paints a pretty contemptuous picture of the superstar DJ's world (which is a bit weird considering the number of them that cameo in it). Often bleak and surreal this is a satire that's considerably better than its simple ‘comedy' tag.
