20th Century Flicks, Bristol

Written by and starring stand up comedian Sean Lock, this is a delightfully misanthropic view of the world observed from the giddy heights of a South London tower block.

24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE (2002)

Certification18 Our Rating

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!
