Abstract or Introduction
In this essay I will discuss the way a trip to the sea is represented in Quadrophenia (the album by The Who with the accompanying short story, as well as the non-musical film of the same name) and in Gurinder Chadha’s film Bhaji on the Beach. I will argue that while the seaside of the story, music and the two films may be one that appeals to the characters because of its potential for a collective, enjoyable experience that can blur individual identities and anxieties, in fact the seaside that is represented produces conflict and may serve to challenge or renew identities.
