Depeche Mode has announced the cinematic film, Depeche Mode: M, featuring interstitials and archival footage from the band’s Mexico City shows on the 2023-2024 ‘Memento Mori Tour.’
The feature-length film, directed by award-winning filmmaker Fernando Frias, shares footage from the three sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol Stadium and “explores the parallels between the themes on Depeche Mode’s latest album Memento Mori and the deep connection to death and mortality in Mexican culture.”
Set to arrive in theatres later this year, the “expressive and dynamic cinematic” film will take viewers “on a profound musical journey, using nearly 200,000 Mexican fans’ fervent connection with the band as a window into the band’s timeless global influence, and a powerful tribute to the unbreakable connection between music, tradition and the human spirit.”
Frias is best known for his award-winning film I’m No Longer Here, which won Mexico’s prestigious Ariel Academy Awards with ten wins, including Best Picture and Best Direction. The film also earned Frias a DGA nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement.
