BFI Distribution has announced that writer-director Justin Kerrigan’s 1999 British cult classic comedy drama Human Traffic is set for a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release on July 21st, as well as a limited theatrical release in select UK cinemas on July 16th; check out the cover artwork, details and trailer below…
Looking for an escape from boring 9-5 jobs, bad relationships, and dysfunctional families, five Cardiff friends plan a night out to remember, where all that exists is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. Journey with them through the highs and lows of the weekend, substance-induced and otherwise, for wild escapades and unexpected epiphanies.
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. Boasting 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. The weekend has landed.
