In the online version of the German magazine "Der Spiegel" there is a review on Carol Morley's movie "The Alcohol Years" featuring her teenage years in Manchester in the 1980s. Naturally, such a topic cannot be discussed without mentioning the "Hacienda", "Madchester" and of course - The Smiths. Their mention is rather short and can be translated as follows:
""The Alcohol Years" shows the depressing atmosphere of a lost generation in a forgotten city, in which, contrary to today, there was no "cappuccino or loft-lifting". Rather, there was still the impression of the suicide of Joy Division vocalist Ian Curtis in the air. The Smiths - a band cherished by all secondary school boys of the world for there endless melancholy - worked on their first albums under the looming shadow of Margaret Thatcher."
Secondary school boys of the world, unite!
