Editors' Picks: Our Favorites From the Week of Nov. 45 of 8
Bohemian Rewatch of the Week
Bohemian Rhapsody's success may have been bad news for critics, but it's a great excuse for you to rediscover some overlooked rock biopics. Like 24 Hour Party People, the fantastic, fourth-wall-busting tale of music impresario Tony Wilson (Steve Coogan), who founded Factory records and the Hacienda nightclub, brought Joy Division and Happy Mondays to the masses, and basically birthed the "Madchester" rave scene. Vibrant and occasionally vitriolic, it gleefully subverts the tenants of the big-screen biography (Coogan even informs the viewer, "This is not a film about me,") making it the perfect rock biopic for anyone who hates rock biopics.
