Human Traffic

POVZETEK

Director Justin Kerrigan's debut movie is a valiant attempt to put across the atmosphere of Britain's club scene. It follows the fortunes of five friends who go out on a lost, drug-and-drink-fuelled weekend in the dance halls of Cardiff. Jip (John Simm) can't get it together with girls and confides in friend Lulu (Lorraine Pilkington) as their night out turns into two days of frenzied rave-up. Trainspotting it isn't, but the spirited acting from the talented youngsters and the inspired visuals, which come out of the screen like a chemical rush, combine to make it a fascinating social commentary.
