Morrissey: Who Put the 'M' in Manchester? (2005) captures the Manchester legend in full, electrifying form during his May 22, 2004, Evening News Arena show. The film isn't just a concert record—it's a time-capsule of Morrissey's singular wit, melancholy, and razor-sharp cultural commentary, delivered with his signature blend of theatricality and raw emotion.

It's a film that feels like a personal invitation to stand in a sea of Morrissey faithful, where every lyric resonates as both confession and anthem.
