Radio On *solved*

[Circa 1983]

Hello,



Please forgive my poor english, as it's not my native language...



I am searching for the title of a British movie, I saw on french TV about ten years ago.



It must be of 1980-1983.



If i remember correctly, that's the story of a man who learns that his brother, that he hasn't seen for many years, just passed away. That same day he receives tapes from his brother, of music... he decides to go there and learn more about what happend.



The movie shows his travel in an old car.

It is very experimental, a kind of british road-movie.



There are very few dialogs, but rather music.

The soundtrack is most memorable, it feature David Bowie's "Heroes" in the first sequence, Kraftwerk's autobahn and many new Wave/dark wave cuts...



I can't be very much more precise, thank you for your help !

"Radio on" , that's right. I loved this movie so much I even wrote a script in french based on what I recalled...



Thank you very much for your help, and sorry for my late reply, I just got back from holiday.



I've been working with internet since 1992, and I am still amazed how it can connect one to knowledgeable persons...



Cheers,
