Depeche Mode announce new cinematic film titled Depeche Mode: M.
Featuring interstitials and archival footage from the band’s Mexico City shows on the 2023-24 Memento Mori Tour.
The feature-length film, conceptualised and directed by award-winning filmmaker Fernando Frias, takes audiences on a profound musical journey, using nearly 200,000 Mexican fans’ 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.
Depeche Mode: M will premiere in theatres later this year and follows the band during its Mexico City stop during the Memento Mori Tour, which saw them play to more than 3 million fans at 112 shows around the world.
Through Frias’ creative lens, the cinematic experience weaves footage from the three sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol Stadium to explore the parallels between the themes on Depeche Mode’s latest album Memento Mori and the deep connection to death and mortality in Mexican culture.
Ongoing Legacy
Depeche Mode’s 15th studio album, Memento Mori, was released in 2023 to wide critical acclaim. An indelible inspiration, the Memento Mori album and tour represented just the latest chapter of the band’s ongoing legacy.
Fernando Frias is best known for his award-winning film I’m No Longer Here. The film won Mexico’s prestigious Ariel Academy Awards with 10 wins, including Best Picture and Best Direction. Additionally, it was Mexico’s submission to the Oscars in 2021 and was shortlisted for Best International Feature. His latest film is I Don’t Expect Anyone To Believe Me.
Depeche Mode: M is produced by Columbia Records, Anonymous Content and REDRUM. Sony Music Vision is the distributor.
