Imax global cinema premiere set for Depeche Mode's M movie
Get ready for a unique cinematic journey as Depeche Mode's M, a feature-length concert movie, is set for a global release on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. The film will screen in over 2,500 cinemas across more than 60 countries13.
Directed by award-winning Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frias, M offers more than just a typical concert documentary. It intertwines live performances with thematic explorations of music, mortality, and Mexican cultural traditions surrounding death. The title, M, and the tour relate to the Latin phrase "Memento Mori," meaning "remember that you must die," which reflects on mortality—a theme resonant with Mexican traditions and the recent passing of founding band member Andy Fletcher13.
Frias, best known for his acclaimed film I'm No Longer Here, uses creative cinematic techniques, including dramatic scenes and archival material, to deepen this exploration14. The film connects Depeche Mode’s songs with Mexican cultural reflections on life and death, illuminating a profound bond between the band and its Mexican fanbase.
The film was conceived and directed by Frias, who is known for his work on I'm No Longer Here, which won 10 awards at Mexico's Ariel Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Direction1. Dave Gahan, the frontman of Depeche Mode, stated that the film is about the deep connection between music, culture, and people2.
Tickets for theatrical showings will be available from September 17, 2025, via the official website for the event1. Trafalgar Releasing's CEO, Marc Allenby, stated that they are proud to continue their longstanding collaboration with Sony Music Vision and Imax to bring Depeche Mode: M to audiences worldwide in October3.
The Depeche Mode Memento Mori Tour saw the band play to over three million fans at 112 shows around the world4. With M, audiences will have the opportunity to relive these memorable performances on the big screen.
Whether you're a longtime Depeche Mode fan or new to their music, M promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience. Don't miss out—tickets go on sale on September 171.
