Paul Ryder

A documentary focused on rock 'n' roll super fans Dennis and Lois and their journey over 40 years.

Documentary celebrating the triumph, tragedy and human comedy that was Manchester record company, Factory. Started by the late Tony Wilson, Alan Erasmus, Peter Saville and Martin Hannett in the late 1970s, it became known as the home of Joy Divsion, New Order and Happy Mondays and for creating the Hacienda club. The label pioneered Britain's independent pop culture, creating a new Manchester and blowing a shed-load of money. Includes interviews with all the main players in the Factory story.

1976년의 맨체스터. 야심찬 TV 뉴스 리포터 토니 윌슨은 섹스 피스톨즈의 공연을 보고 삶의 전환을 맞이한다. 혁명적 음악의 물결에 몸을 맡긴 토니와 그의 친구들은 전설적인 팩토리 레코드사와 하시엔다 클럽을 설립하고 음악계의 흐름을 바꾼 조이 디비전, 뉴 오더, 해피 먼데이 등의 밴드를 배출한다. 음악과 섹스, 마약과 과장된 캐릭터로 가득한 블랙 코미디 은 공업도시 맨체스터를 ‘매드체스터’로 변화시킨 당시의 활기찬 기운을 고스란히 담고 있다.
