Review of Control (2007) by Vincent L — 02 Nov 2018
Brilliant movie by Corbijn about the lead singer and writer ian Curtis of the legendary band Joy Division. I grew up with this music and to this day treasure it. Sam Riley does a very good job portraying Ian Curtis and kudos to the actors for actually performing music life and not all bad either.
Anyway, corbijn as a famous photographer obviously has an eye for creating beautiful images and he doesn''t disappoint.
The story does not dig very deep, but we get an impression and I hope more people discovered this fantastic band.
The one star missing is because corbijn obviously still has to learn a lot about story telling, but for any Joy Division Fan this is required viewing, of course followed by watching 24 hour party people, to get more context and because it's a lot of fun.
