"Death's playful side will be showcased in a Depeche Mode concert film, titled M, which is set to hit cinema screens globally in October."
The much-anticipated Depeche Mode concert film, titled "M", premiered at the prestigious Tribeca Festival in June 2025. This film, capturing the band's three sold-out shows at Mexico City's Foro Sol Stadium during their Memento Mori Tour, is set to be released in cinemas and IMAX theaters globally on October 28, 2025.
Directed by the award-winning Mexican filmmaker, Fernando Frías, "M" transcends the boundaries of a typical concert documentary. It weaves live performance footage with dramatic interstitial scenes and archival material, delving into themes of death, mortality, and Mexican cultural traditions. The title and themes resonate with the Latin phrase "Memento Mori", a fitting reflection of Depeche Mode's 2023 album and tour.
The film also serves as a poignant homage to the band's founding member, Andy Fletcher, who passed away in 2022. Through the lens of Mexican culture's reflections on mortality, the film celebrates the profound connection between music, death, and cultural memory, highlighting Depeche Mode's ability to bridge cultures in this universal human context.
Fernando Frías frames the film as a unique journey into Mexican culture surrounding death, amplified by the energy of the band's performances. By exploring the parallels between the themes on Depeche Mode's latest album, Memento Mori, and the deep connection to death and mortality in Mexican culture, the film offers a fresh and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
Tickets for the film screenings go on sale from September 17, and are available here. For those interested in alternative music, The Louder Newsletter provides the latest news, features, and interviews from the global home of alternative music.
