Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In Cardiff, five friends in their twenties plan an escape from rubbish love lives and boring jobs: an all-out weekend of letting loose. Starting with pints of lager at the local before moving onto chemicals and clubs, they talk, dance, and try to put off the inevitable comedown of morning light.
Hyped for rave culture and what that synthetic new energy can do when channeled into cinema, Human Traffic is game for a laugh. Unmistakably of the ’90s, it brings together ascendent actors of the moment (from John Simm to Danny Dyer), rolling with the brash cheekiness of that young, excitable cast.
