Films about Edinburgh #2
A film which got rave reviews at The Edinburgh Film Festival in 2003 was 16 Years of Alcohol, billed as a story of hope filmed against the backdrop of a beautiful city. Directed by former frontman of punk band The Skids, Richard Jobson, the central character is largely based on himself and his brother. The film features great music as you might expect from, amongst others, Bryan Ferry and Glasgow band The Blue Nile.
