24 Hour Party People
2002 · TMDB 7.0
Directed by Michael Winterbottom
Manchester, 1976. Tony Wilson is an ambitious but frustrated local TV news reporter looking for a way to make his mark. After witnessing a life-changing concert by a band known as the Sex Pistols, he persuades his station to televise one of their performances, and soon Manchester's punk groups are clamoring for him to manage them. Riding the wave of a musical revolution, Wilson and his friends create the legendary Factory Records label and The Hacienda club.
Why it matters
Michael Winterbottom's shaggy, fourth-wall-breaking account of Manchester's music scene from punk to Madchester, anchored by Steve Coogan's Tony Wilson. A comic, affectionate whirlwind that never loses sight of the casualties along the way.
