Where Angels Play

When I get around to listing my top ten films of the year, 24 Hour Party People will probably be in the higher reaches. It's a hopeless, shambolic documentary that somehow manages to be truthful whilst being completely open that it is making half of the story up as it goes along. And having lived in Manchester for three years, I love the portrayal of the city in all of its chaotic glory. Anyway, the DVD is out on January 27th, and it seems to be a worthwhile purchase:

  • Tony Wilson Commentary (audio)
  • Steve Coogan and Producer Andrew Eaton Commentary (audio)
  • Artists Commentary (Video - commentary was filmed
  • The film playing in a box on the right hand side) will include Rowetta, Peter Hook, members of Durutti Column and A Certain Ratio sitting in a Manchester bar
  • Sleeve Notes - a Who's Who guide to the film
  • 24 Deleted Scenes
  • Interviews with cast and crew
  • Michael Winterbottom Documentary
  • Central Station artwork designs and commentary
  • Peter Saville artwork designs and commentary with Tony Wilson
  • New Order Music Video
  • Genesis of 24 Hour Party People - featurette
  • The Real Tony Wilson - Featurette
  • Playing People who are still alive - featurette
