   • François Truffaut. The 400 Blows. Truffaut reportedly said his film was to be judged on its sincerity rather than its technical merit. The film is beautifully made, but Truffaut’s sincerity confirmed my path as a filmmaker.
   • Vittorio De Sica. Bicycle Thieves. Set in postwar Italy, this film brings a beautiful, brutal honesty to the plight of the have-nots. This is a fight for survival and dignity in an uncaring world.
   • Stanley Kubrick. The Killing. I loved this film before I knew who Stanley Kubrick was. Sterling Hayden’s portrayal of the ill-fated criminal is majestic and psychopathic.
   • Pietro Germi. Seduced and Abandoned. If I had to describe this film in three words, I would say: “Charm, charm, charm.” The beautiful Stefania Sandrelli is seduced by her sister’s fiancé, who then refuses to marry her because she’s no longer a virgin.

   How does Roddam reflect on Quadrophenia?

   • There’s an air of glee in how Roddam, who is speaking to me at his charming West London home (all very minimalist, ‘Scandinavian’ as he refers to it—albeit for a large Arabesque door) reflects on these moments in Quadrophenia.

   Why did Roddam work with Elisabeth Murdoch?

   • In the early 2000s Roddam pitched a new format to the BBC and, crucially, chose to work with Elisabeth Murdoch and her production company Shine. “She was fabulous,” he recalls. There was a new format (the celebrity judge dropped; a shorter cooking time) but there was another key difference.
