Human Traffic

@ BFI Distribution
Looking for an escape from boring nine-to-five jobs, bad relationships and dysfunctional families, five Cardiff friends plan a night out to remember, dominated by clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. Hailed as ‘the last great film of the nineties’ by The Guardian, this cult classic of the ‘Cool Cymru’ era has been newly restored in 4K. Featuring Danny Dyer in a full-on feature debut, Human Traffic is an unapologetic celebration of 90s club culture and youthful hedonism, with an unparallelled soundtrack featuring Matthew Herbert, Fatboy Slim, Brainbug and Orbital. Journey with them through the highs and lows of wild escapades and unexpected epiphanies.
