NOTES:
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.
