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. With 24 Hour Party People, he proposes a biography of the head of Factory recordsa famous English label which launched, in the late Seventies and early Eighties, the careers of such mythical bands as Joy Division and Happy Mondays.Ģ4 Hour Party People is the anti- Doors film. However, one cannot deny his talent to adapt the form to the matter, even if these artistic choices might remove him of his own identity.
None of his films resembles each other, neither in style nor subject matter. For others, it's visual and musical jubilation. If you are not familiar with bands like Joy Division and Happy Mondays, you might get bored unless you find the adventures of a music label producer appealing. Winterbottom is back with a film that will undoubtedly only speak to a certain generation and a particular public.
