24 Hour Party People, Michael Winterbottom's fantastic and surreal retelling of Factory Records' years of operation, breaks down the fourth wall while capturing the ragged spirit and explosion of creativity that birthed more than its share of music heroes. A soundtrack featuring the likes of Joy Division, New Order, and Happy Mondays, cameos from Mark E. Smith and Howard Devoto, and Steve Coogan's hilarious portrayal of the infinitely complex label honcho Tony Wilson make 24 Hour Party People required viewing for all fans of the UK music scene.
