Andrew is an ambitious young jazz drummer, single-minded in his pursuit to rise to the top of his elite east coast music conservatory. Plagued by the failed writing career of his father, Andrew hungers day and night to become one of the greats. Terence Fletcher, an instructor equally known for his teaching talents as for his terrifying methods, leads the top jazz ensemble in the school. Fletcher discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into his band, forever changing the young man’s life. Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher continues to push him to the brink of both his ability—and his sanity.

Yeah they have one in Manchester, I try and pop in whenever I'm in the city centre, although not as often as I used to, I've picked up a bargain or two over the years from Fopp as a result of the kind folks sharing of HotUKDeals :wink:

Bah, I'm not back in Manchester until next Thursday, hopefully I'll have the time to pop down during lunch and grab one, if they still have them by then at this price. Love this movie, just been waiting for the price to drop and now it has :smile:
