On Friday night I went to see a new independent film called Northern Soul, directed by photographer Elaine Constantine the film is centred around a young outsider who is introduced to this new music/dance craze in the north of England and in turn finds himself. Constantine did a great job of creating the care free euphoria of living for a music scene. I walked away feeling so uplifted by the narrative and also was left with a reminiscent feeling for my own experience of club culture in the 90s to the backdrop of different music however with very similar experiences. The friend I went to see it with spoke about feeling like we were watching a cult classic and I must say that was the first time I've been in a cinema and the credits rolled to a round of applause. Below is the tralier and a documentary about the movement both very entertaining:
