Any Jungle In Guy? - Human Traffic 1999

Human Traffic is a 1999 British-Welsh independent coming of age comedy drama film written and directed by Justin Kerrigan. It is a cult film of the Cool Cymru era of arts in Wales.

The film explores themes of coming of age, drug and night club cultures, as well as relationships. It includes scenes provoking social commentary and the use of archive footage to provide political commentary.

The plot revolves around five twenty-something friends and their wider work and social circle,[3] the latter devotees of the club scene, taking place over the course of a drug-fuelled weekend in Cardiff, Wales.

A central feature is the avoidance of moralising about the impact of 90s dance lifestyle; instead the film concentrates on recreating the 'vibe, the venues and the mood' of the dance movement from the 1988–89 "Second Summer of Love" to the film's release in 1999.

In the first 25 minutes of the film Lee, the 17-year-old brother of central character Nina, enthuses "I am about to be part of the chemical generation" and lists, using the slang of the period, a series of drugs that he might use later that night. 

The film is narrated by one of the stars, John Simm, featuring numerous cameo appearances. It is also the film debut of Danny Dyer as well as referencing another drug culture film of the era, Trainspotting.

With an original budget of £340,000, the production eventually came in for £2,200,000; the film was a financial success, taking in £2,500,000 at the UK box office alone, also enjoying good VHS and DVD sales. 

Human Traffic was critically well-received with largely positive reviews, and has achieved cult status, especially amongst subcultures such as the rave culture.

A sequel, known as Human Traffic 2: Revolution was announced in April 2019 and is due for release at an unknown date. Dyer, Parkes and Reynolds are due to reprise their roles. 🔥🔥🔥😉
