I saw the movie Control; it is about Ian Curtis and Joy Division. It was a slow but compelling movie. The movie was directed by Anton Corbijn, he photographed the band in the early days and did a great job in bringing forth a believable portrait. Corbijn had been a devout Joy Division fan since the band's early days in the late 1970s.
The film was shot on colour stock and printed to black and white to "reflect the atmosphere of Joy Division and the mood of the era"
The movie is based on Deborah Curtis's biography "Touching from a Distance"
The film works as both a bio-picture and a music film. I would recommend it to fans of both genres of films. The best thing about the film was that the music was actually performed by the actors, who convinced me they were the band.
