Thursday Night Movies “24 Hour Party People” (2002)
The film, directed by Michael Winterbottom, is a semi-fictionalized account of Manchester’s vibrant music scene from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, centered around Factory Records and its co-founder, Tony Wilson (played by Steve Coogan). Blending humor, drama, and mockumentary elements, it chronicles the rise and fall of iconic bands like Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays, as well as the legendary but chaotic nightclub, the Haçienda, capturing the hedonism, creativity, and eventual collapse of the era.
