Description
Staggeringly versatile director Michael Winterbottom follows up his epic Western THE CLAIM with a period piece of a completely different variety. A sprawling, visceral tribute to the legendary Manchester music scene that flourished between the years of 1976 and 1992, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE recreates that influential era with reckless exuberance. In order to bring structure to the tale, Winterbottom and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce focus their attentions on Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan), the man who was responsible for making it all happen. A television reporter by day, Wilson also led a notorious double life as band manager (Joy Division, the Happy Mondays, James), label president (Factory Records), and club owner (The Hacienda). Fiercely determined and dangerously stubborn, Wilson's energy gave an entire subculture of Manchester youths their place in the spotlight, forever changing the face of popular music in the process. Shot by acclaimed cinematographer Robby Muller in faded digital video, Winterbottom's pulsating film tears through its subject matter like an ecstasy induced history lesson. The performances are flawless from top to bottom, most notably Wilson, Sean Harris, Paddy Considine, John Simm, and Danny Cunningham. A must-see for music aficionados, Winterbottom's film is also worth viewing for its sheer sense of hyperkinetic entertainment.

Editorial reviews
"...24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE bounces jubilantly across its urban terrain...leaving the viewer tantalised by its uncanny impersonations....Throughout, the film runs on a lovely balance of youth and guile..." Sight and Sound - Xan Brooks (05/01/2002) "...In terms of capturing the spirit of a scene, 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE is a soaraway success..." Total Film - Dan Jolin (05/01/2002) "...24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE is a smart, gritty and visually inventive film....The characters are larger than life and real....It presents them so vividly and honestly that the impression it leaves is searing, jubilant and mournful..." Box Office - Sheri Linden (07/01/2002) "...The movie really is a blast....The film is outspoken, roaringly funny, defiantly sexual and relentlessly in-your-face..." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (08/08/2002) "...This movie is miraculous on many levels....The movie is one of the smartest, liveliest, most engaging and involving works you're likely to see this year..." Premiere - Glenn Kenny (08/01/2002) "...Fabulous....Mr. Winterbottom's most consistent talent is matching his visual approach to the tone of the story....It's worthwhile alone for Mr. Coogan's fine portrayal..." New York Times - Elvis Mitchell (08/09/2002) "...24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE dances to a different groove. It's a scrappy pop docudrama that's as mod, odd, and ironic as its subject..." Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (08/16/2002) "...24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE is a vibrant re-creation of the punk rock revolution that galvanized Manchester in the late '70s and '80s....[Coogan's] wry commentary adds a note of bemused intelligence..." Movieline - Stephen Farber (09/01/2002)

24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE

DVD

*** NEW AND SEALED ***

Starring Steve Coogan, Paddy Considine, Danny Cunningham, Shirley Henderson, Lennie James, Andy Serkis and John Simm. Produced by Andrew Eaton. Directed by Michael Winterbottom.

This witty and compelling portrait of the eighties music scene is viewed through the eyes of Tony Wilson:
a young Cambridge graduate and TV presenter, who, inspired by the Sex Pistols first Manchester gig,
founds the now world-famous Factory Records and Hacienda night-club.
The bands he signs include Joy Division and the Happy Mondays - who became seminal artists of their time -
whilst the Hacienda transforms Manchester into "Mad-chester"... the place to be!

All this is built on Wilson's anarchic business philosophy:
no contracts, just passion, music and hedonism - if the bands don't like it they are free to leave.
No-one leaves, but with debts and hangovers rocketing, things do get completely out of hand...

Comedian Steve Coogan is brilliantly cast as the wry Wilson, struggling to hold it together in a world of vice and angst-ridden geniuses.
The fabulous soundtrack includes hits from the Happy Mondays, New Order and Joy Division.
