24 Hour Party People - 24th Anniversary 4K Re-release (18)

Manchester 1976: Granada TV presenter, Tony Wilson, is at a Sex Pistols gig.  Totally inspired by this pivotal moment in music history, he and his friends set up a record label, Factory Records, and proceed to sign a number of local bands destined to be some of the most influential artists of their time.  First, Joy Division, who go on to become New Order; then come the Happy Mondays.

What ensues is a blackly comic tale of music, sex, drugs, larger-than-life characters, and the birth of one of the most famous dance clubs in the world, The Haçienda.

Told through the eyes of one man who was in the centre of it all throughout, 24 Hour Party People graphically documents the vibrancy that made Mad-chester the place to be.

Returning to screens in 4K restoration to celebrate the 24 year anniversary.
