		Michael Winterbottom’s “24 Hour Party People” has a lot in common with Steven Soderbergh’s recent “Full Frontal.” Both directors are coming off working in the Hollywood system, and now seek refuge in their own creative juices.

		“24 Hour Party People” is a celebratory picture about a musical movement and timing, but I’ll be damned if I actually got an education out of all this sound and vision.

	DVD Review: 24 Hour Party People
		One of the most inspired works that I've seen from highly-regarded filmmaker Michael Winterbottom, "24 Hour Party People" is a docu-drama that takes a fascinating look at the rise of the Manchester music scene (New Order, Happy Mondays) through the eyes of journalist and founder of Factory Records, Tony Wilson (Steven Coogan).
		Winterbottom and the screenwriter have done a fine job tracing the history of this scene, making it clearly understandable for non-fans (everyone's followed one musical "scene" at one point or another and may be able to relate) and likely enjoyable for those who followed the music.
		Final Thoughts: "24 Hour Party People" doesn't always sustain its pace or atmosphere, but more often than not, it's a well-acted, funny and intelligent look at the rise and fall of this particular music scene.

	24 Hour Party People DVD reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		“24 Hour Party People” doesn’t have nearly the amount of supplemental material of, say, the “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” set (although the two films do have something in common – more on that later), but it does have something that the movie itself makes you crave.
		Directed by Michael Winterbottom and scripted by Frank Cottrell Boyce, “24 Hour Party People” encompasses the years 1976 through 1992, showing us events that range from the truly tragic to the somewhat magical to the spectacularly ridiculous, as seen through the eyes of Manchester, England music promoter Wilson (played in the film by Steve Coogan).
		Although parts of “24 Hour Party People” are fictionalized (as the film even sans commentary is happy to point out via the on-camera narration by Coogan-as-Wilson), it is absolutely convincing in its view of the big picture.

		In a small hall, Wilson is one of the forty-two people who were present during the first Manchester gig of the Sex Pistols.
		As Wilson puts is, there are only two people who decide what goes on television, and both of them hate punk music, making his show one of the only places to catch it.
		Next there is ‘24 Hour Party People - the Book’ which s pretty much just a plug for Tony Wilson’s book which is a history of Factory Records.

		FICTIONALIZED--and proud of it!--24 Hour Party People is a goofy, energetic docu-something about the history of Factory Records, an independent co-op label based in Manchester, England's second city.
		Even so, 24 Hour Party People is so dazzling and fun that it's only when you're out of the theater that you realize how essentially small-time Wilson's goals were: he really just wanted to put Manchester on the map.
		24 Hour Party People (R; 117 min.), directed by Michael Winterbottom, written by Frank Cottrell Boyce, photographed by Robby Müller and starring Steve Coogan, opens Friday at Camera One in San Jose and the Century Cinema 16 in Mountain View.

		With 24 hour party people, he proposes a biography of the head of Factory records—a famous English label which launched, in the late Seventies and early Eighties, the careers of such mythical bands as Joy Division and Happy Mondays.
		It is not a film about Joy Division, the band that put Manchester on the map as a reservoir of artists likely to revolutionize rock.
		Rather than a film about music (once again, fans shouldn't expect a documentary on their favorite bands) or Tony Wilson, 24 hour party people is an homage to the spirit of a city whose culture became influential: Manchester.

		He was a British television "presenter" who hosted weird programs, which found him interviewing strange people and generally making an ass of himself.
		He also was only one of forty-two people in the audience when the Sex Pistols played their first gig in 1976.
		In direct address to the camera, Tony explains that the power of the experience for those that were lucky enough to attend, was enough to set fire to an entire generation of music.

	Movie Review - 24 Hour Party People - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider
		"24 Hour Party People" is the true story of Factory Records, the label at the front of the '70s and '80s New Wave movement in pop music.
		Tony is an amusingly casual narrator, often stopping the action to tell us what's about to happen, or even to warn us about a scene that was cut but that will surely be on the DVD.
		Several of the people the movie is about appear in it, not as themselves, but in small roles on the periphery.

		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.
		The film "24 Hour Party People" is presented in documentary style by narrator Steve Coogan who plays Tony Wilson--a television journalist.
		The movie begins with the birth of punk, when a small roomful of people were fortunate enough to catch the Sex Pistols when they first came out, changing the course of music, and ends with the death of acid.

		“24 Hour Party People” is impressive and fun, bringing to life a genuinely interesting period of musical history without moralizing or sentimentality.

		The rise and demise of idealist (and stoically ideological) Manchester independent label Factory Records and scene-setting "Madchester" nightclub the Hacienda is the subject of Michael Winterbottom's pop mockumentary 24 Hour Party People, the soundtrack of which naturally zooms in on the two bands whose sonic endeavours built the fragile empire brick-by-brick and beat-by-beat.
		Plenty, too, from those incorrigible substance-ingesting wastrels the Happy Mondays, the shambling soundtrack to that brief "baggy" age of acid, Es and aggro, Factory's last sunset before sweating over the sums and the Hacienda attracting unsavoury persons with machine guns.
		The CD reflects the brilliant tracks that most people will agree were the best during the Factory/Rough Trade period.

		While not exhaustive, the 24 Hour Party People soundtrack does an honorable job at giving a taste of the sound of the city through this Manchester Music for Dummies compilation.
		From the late 70's after the arrival of Punk to the early 90's before Seattle took over the much-coveted spot with grunge, Manchester was the most influential music scene in the world.
		While focusing on Factory records and the Hacienda, The 24 Hour Party People soundtrack provides a good sample of these years, starting with punk rock thanks to the Sex Pistols' anthem "Anarchy in the UK", The Clash and Manchester's own Buzzcocks.

		In its present form it is pointless, and it leaves a whole generation of clubbers and dance music fans wondering what really happened.
		As a Little Hultoner (home of the Happy Mondays), whose mother now uses one of the Hacienda's Alvar Aaalto stools when she does her decorating (see chapter 34), this 'novelisation' has a particular resonance for me and I suspect many others in the 30-45 age group.
		24-Hour Party People is partly based on the film of the same name, and it's hard to tell what's fact and what's fiction (but I like that).
