Highlights include (with some personal notes)
24 Hour Party People – This is the Tony Wilson Story (Factory Records) and include cameos by all your fave Factory Folks – look for Vini Reilly (Durutti Column) acting as a roadie/deliveryman
Jubilee – Derek Jarman directed this great film – It’s not often played – don’t miss it.
Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten – This is the recent Bio pic of Strummers life by Julien Temple who also did The Filth and the Fury really a great documentary – esp. before and after The Clash
Urgh! A Music War – This is the Classic IRS records showcase movie. I saw this at the Ontario Theater – X played first then they screened the film. No one was really that up for the film after that – it was still a great time.
