Northern Soul (2014)
Wonderfully Crafted Film
The film was a wonderful insight into 1970's working class Britain. Cameo roles from some great British Actors. Ricky Tomlinson, John Thomson, Lisa Stanfield and Alan Partridge himself ( :-) )combined with the vibrancy of the Northern Soul Scene and a great sound track made for a great nights entertainment.... The care taken to get the sense of futility being a teenager in 1970's represented and the hope Northern Soul represented - in this case a trip to the USA and a future was sublime. Also a clever twist on boy meets girl boy loses girl and boy wins girl back meant the plot held its own extremely well.... They were dancing in the aisles during the credits on the way out and a group of teenagers were being taught some moves in the centre of Bristol too by a few oldies who 'were there'....great fun
