Depeche Mode unveils a upcoming concert movie
Get ready for an unforgettable cinematic experience as Depeche Mode's new concert film, "Depeche Mode: M", is set to be screened worldwide. The film, produced by Sony Music Entertainment, will hit the screens of over 2,500 cinemas across more than 60 countries on Tuesday, October 28, 2025[1][2][3].
The film, directed by acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frias, captures the energy and passion of Depeche Mode's three sold-out shows at Mexico City's Foro Sol Stadium during their 2023-2024 Memento Mori Tour. It premiered earlier this year at the Tribeca Festival[1][2][3].
Beyond a typical concert documentary, Depeche Mode: M delves into cultural themes centered on the connection between music, mortality, and Mexican tradition. It explores the Mexican cultural reflections on death and mortality—themes that align with the band’s Memento Mori album and tour (Latin for "remember that you must die"). The film uses live performances combined with dramatic interstitial scenes and archival material to frame this journey into the heart of Mexican cultural attitudes towards mortality[1][2][3].
Lead singer Dave Gahan has praised Mexican director Fernando Frías de la Parra's work on the film, calling it "truly wonderful." The film takes audiences on an intense musical and spiritual journey, illustrating the timeless, multicultural impact of Depeche Mode[1][2][3].
The screening of Depeche Mode: M spans across 60 countries, reaching a global audience. This cinematic meditation on the universality of death and how music bridges cultural and existential themes through Mexican traditions promises to be a must-see for fans and cinema-goers alike[2][3].
So, mark your calendars for October 28, 2025, and get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Depeche Mode like never before. Tickets for the worldwide screening will be available starting September 17, 2025[1][2][3].
