20th Century Flicks, Bristol

Factory Records, the Hacienda club, Tony Wilson, Happy Mondays, etc, etc. '24 Hour Party People' is an affectionate and humorous trip through Manchester's monster music scene in the 80s and 90s. The soundtrack as you'd expect is blinding and Steve Coogan's portrayal of Wilson is spooky. A film that stands on it's own as an excellent near tragi-comedy, but within its historical context... it's bloody mad!

A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION (2006)

CertificationPG Our Rating

The king is dead, long live the king. Television has dominated the public's homes for many decades but a few radio shows have survived the visual onslaught. When new owners take over an ailing station one of their first acts is to draw to a close a much loved, but ailing, veteran variety music show. A touching, often witty, series of reminisciences that utilise a cracking cast. Robert Altman's final film may not be up there with his greats but it's still a delightfully understated ensemble piece find out more...
