Well, no one can accuse NORTHERN SOUL of glamourising its subject, and while Im not saying the filmmakers needed to go all nostalgic and paint a picture as seen through rose-tinted glasses, going so far as to fail to depict the scene as even remotely appealing seems to make the whole undertaking somewhat pointless. I have no idea what prompted Alan Jones to call this a feel-good snapshot of its era. The presence of Steve Coogan in the cast should not be taken as an indication that the film is coming from slightly out of left field as 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE did. As someone who has never been a fan of soul music, even I have to admit that a few of tunes sounded quite tasty and while Id never want to sit through the film again I wouldnt mind a copy of the soundtrack.
