Depeche Mode: M. A Film by Fernando Frías is a 2025 concert documentary film directed by Mexican filmmaker Fernando Frías de la Parra. The film chronicles English electronic music band Depeche Mode's 2023 performances at Foro Sol in Mexico City during their Memento Mori World Tour. It blends concert footage with archival materials and cultural interstitials to explore themes of music, mortality, and Mexican traditions surrounding death.[3][4] It was released in the United Kingdom and the United States on 28 October 2025.[5][1][6] A DVD and Blu-ray release featuring the film and the full concert footage titled Memento Mori: Mexico City was released on 5 December 2025.[7]

Background

[edit | edit source]

The film documents three sold-out shows held at Foro Sol stadium in September 2023, attended by nearly 200,000 fans. The concerts were part of Depeche Mode's tour in support of Memento Mori, their fifteenth studio album and the first following the death of founding member Andy Fletcher in 2022.[3]

The performances were selected for the film in part due to Mexico's cultural relationship with death, which mirrors the themes of the album. According to the filmmakers, Depeche Mode: M serves 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".[4]
