Hooray For Holyrood is a fascinating glimpse into the 1986 Edinburgh International Film Festival, captured through the lens of Scottish Television. The atmosphere is a nice mix of nostalgia and authenticity, as you have Robbie Coltrane, who once drove festival guests, narrating the experience. The film is peppered with interviews featuring the likes of Bill Forsyth and Samuel Fuller, offering a rich tapestry of voices that reflect on cinema during that era. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a time capsule that feels both personal and expansive. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to soak in the eclectic energy of the festival, while the practical effects are non-existent, focusing instead on the raw performances and candid conversations, which really shine through.
