We began our work on Michael Winterbottom by studying 24 Hour Party People, the biopic of Tony Wilson who owned Factory Records in Manchester.
Here's the IMDB page:
Michael Winterbottom is an interesting director because he has made a hugely diverse range of films. In the 2 films that we studied (24 Hour Party People and A Cock and Bull Story) he makes extensive use of techniques that we can consider to be postmodern.
Steve Coogan (playing Tony Wilson) even turns to the camera at one poine and says:
"I'm being postmodern before it was fashionable".
Tremendous.
