24 Hour Party People (D.O.P Robby Müller 2002) w/ Perry Jackson
Felicia is joined by Perry Jackson to discuss Robby Müller’s take on the Manchester music scene of the 70s and 80s, in Michael Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People (2002)
We chat about the use of digital in this film and it’s tele-documentary feel. Along with Müller’s ability to create a chaotic environment with the camera to match the tone of the music in focus.
We’re happy to share one of Müller’s later works, and show the diversity of his body of work.
