Radio Caroline was broadcast in the mid-1960’s from a ship moored just outside of British territorial waters, playing rock’n’roll music in defiance of a government ban. Richard Curtis’ (Love Actually) new comedy and its soundtrack of great songs of the era (including Jimi Hendrix, Dusty Springfield, David Bowie, The Who, The Stones, and more) exuberantly capture the spirit of the times. The station owner (Bill Nighy) and his DJs (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Nick Frost and Rhys Ifans) party on while they battle wits against the government (Kenneth Branaugh) who are set to shut them down and restore high culture to the airwaves.
