Reel 48b: A Fan's-Eye View, pt 2

In this (more reasonable-length) half of our episode, we take a look at Michael Winterbottom's 24 Hour Party People, a story about the rise of a specific slice of the New Wave era of music in the early 1980s. It's a mostly-true story (we talk about that a little bit) told from the point of view of someone who was in the middle of it all. And again, we're getting it from a fan who's managed to inject himself into the story. It's a lot of fun and has a bit of a documentary feel because of the cinematography and the editing style. Get in there and enjoy it. 

COMING ATTRACTIONS:

In Episode 49 we check out a pair of films that involve thieves, specifically female thieves. First up is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), directed by Ang Lee. From there we check out a slightly lesser-known film called Widows, a caper film from 2018 directed by Steve McQueen that could be compared to, say, Ocean's Eleven but maybe don't make that kind of comparison. If you haven't seen it, by all means do so. You'll have a lot of fun with it.
