Movie about raves etc. in the 90s

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706470/

Drama | Music

Storyline
1990. The rave scene has arrived from Ibiza and warehouse parties are exploding across the UK bringing phenomenal wealth to the organisers. In Manchester, best mates Matt and Dylan are in their early 20's and long to be more than just punters. As the government moves to outlaw the scene, it's now or never and they quickly rise through the ranks to join the promoting elite. They are taken on a wild journey from the exclusive VIP rooms of London clubs to the outrageous parties in Ibiza super-villas and the hedonism of Amsterdam. It's everything they dreamed of and more. But as their success continues to grow, they attract a more dark and sinister world. Matt and Dylan start to drift apart as they are forced to question the dreams they set out to achieve and their once solid friendship.

Stop stealing other people's hard work! Isn't the Norwegian economy good enough so you can afford the movie??

silly girl

Those people worked hard for make the movie. Do you have any idea how hard it is to plan, to have help from various other people, to invest money, to keep to a budget, to film and so on. Do you know how hard it is to pour one's soul into the movie and try to make it as good as possible?

Just watched it, it's a little bit cheesy in places - a lot of cliched phrases.

But an excellent film, I love watching British music films, particularly about dance culture.

If you're not a Brit you might find it a bit difficult to understand some of the terminology.

No, they didn't. Just look at the trailer. They've ripped off the getting-electrocuted-while-stealing-power scene from Groove. I'd doubt that's the only scene they've plagiarized.

Well, I heard Get Decor - Passion in the trailer, so it might be worth to look out for the NZB

There is only one good movie about raves. That movie is Kevin & Perry Go Large.

Problem is: K&P Go Large is not about raves. It's about Clubbing in Ibiza.

This film is about raves, and feature no clubs whatsoever.

Raves were often in unlicensed venues, often broken into warehouses and lasted for entire weekends. Often they were so big that the police couldn't shut them down.

This is a rave:

You're wrong. A rave is defined by one thing only: a dancing guy in a suitcase.



Look at 5:27.
Now since I don't see a suitcase-guy in your video you're clearly full of crap.

I can't argue with that.........


But seriously, Weekender is about the "Rave" scene in the UK in the early 90s, and is nothing to do with club culture, it's about warehouse raves.

How about this gem (and repost)

Although there are some seriously embarrassing faces being pulled here, the energy is phenomenal in this video. The tunes are FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

Ahhhh..... the good old days.

Why dancefloors are dark.

And why dance music is great.

You can do it also outside in the middle of Amsterdam

Junkie XL Amsterdam illegal house party/rave 2007

Going to watch the film this weekend, but from the trailer alone, they've made some seriously annoying mistakes:

1, The money he's counting is new - the 20 quid notes were completely different in 1990.
2, Everyone has white LED lights in the rave - they didn't exist until 10 years later, and certainly not in torch form. Glo sticks were even only prominent about 5 years after that.
3, Everyone looks a little too clean - it was a fucking mess in those days.

Little things, but completely kills my suspension of disbelief.

The torches in the film are just.....erm.... torches. I think they break into a torch factory or something to hold the rave!

My only criticism is the lead role with the curtains, he gets a bit annoying, and the black girl is full of cliches, but it's the same in Human Traffic and because the film is decent, and actually draws you in with the way the story develops, so it's easy to overlook. And you'll get totally distracted by the tunes. And the bad guy, he's a seriously nasty ****. He played the best part.

People complain no one is buying really shitty poorly planned low budget movie.

Who cares?

gonna check it. thanks for the suggestion.
