A drama directed by Alan Parker.
A young man in Dublin, Ireland decides that he wants to manage a band and gathers musicians. They learn soul songs, play shows and the trumpet player has sex with the chorus section. Everyone then turns against each other and the whole thing falls apart.
I could see this happening in larger groups. I've only been in 3-5 person bands and in that setting, there's always one asshole who has to spoil it for everyone else (yeah, I've been that guy.). The soundtrack was like listening to one song through the whole film. I liked the style (of the film) and the best part was the manager interviewing himself repeatedly. The plot and characters were decent. I'm rating it adequate.
