Excellent pseudo-documentary about the emergence of the Hacienda club in Manchester, England, grounded by a superb performance by Steve Coogan (who was actually born in Manchester), playing club-creator Tony Wilson. The movie deftly shows what happens when a club is run by ARTISTS rather than businessmen. Could have been shortened by perhaps a good half hour but other than that, a solid effort. I'm on the plane now.
