Prior to seeing Zac Ephron as an EDM DJ in We are Your Friends, treat yourself to Michael Winterbottom’s funny, galvanizing recreation of the scene where it all began, Manchester from the 1970's to early 1990's. Tony Wilson (a terrific Steve Coogan, in the role that introduced him to U.S. audiences) is an ambitious but frustrated local TV news reporter looking for a way to make his mark. After witnessing a life-changing concert by an unknown band called the Sex Pistols, he persuades his station to televise one of their performances, and soon Manchester's punk groups are clamoring for him to manage them. Riding the wave of a musical revolution, Wilson and his friends create the legendary Factory Records and the Hacienda Club, and bands like Joy Division, New Order, and the Happy Mondays emerge to change the industry forever.
