24 Hour Party People description An ingenious docudrama on the Manchester music scene of the 1980s and '90s. 24 Hour Party People traces the rise and fall of bands like Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays--bands whose success in the U.S. was limited, but whose impact in Europe (and England in particular) was phenomenal. It all centers around the record label that spawned these bands, Factory Records, and its impresario Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan), a man both ludicrous in his self-absorption and brilliant in his willingness to go out on a limb for bands he likes. Coogan, a British comic, gives a remarkable and deeply funny performance that manages to be simultaneously sincere and ironic. The movie communicates what was great about this time without any false majesty--the squalor and disasters are as crucial to this portrait as the wild successes. The soundtrack, of course, is superb. --Bret Fetzer |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | R.I.P. Tony Wilson |
| First off R.I.P. Tony Wilson (he died 8-11-07)... I just can not put into words how great this movie is. The dark portrayal of Ian Curtis (look out for 'Closer' a movie about him in the US Oct 10-07) to the goofy druggers Happy Mondays, this is like 2 movies for the price of one. My favorite scene maybe in cinema history is when the actor Wilson is narrating a scene that we are watching of Vini Reilly (Duruti Column) walking out of a storage room . A non-sensible unrelating 'cameo' to the movie's plot at first, but the narrator actor Wilson says this scene didn't make the final cut!!!?? HA! Brilliant, sorry but it did make the final cut because it was just shown.
I recommend watching this with the actual Tony Wilson commentary on, wow the loads of info that pours through thy speakers.. Beyond five stars and thanks to the real Tony Wilson for enriching my life with art and music both sincere and beautiful. And thanks to the makers of this movie for explaining to me the man behind my fond memories growing up on Factory music. I just saw the art and heard the music now years later I see the story |
