Review of Control (2007) by Sebastian D — 08 Jul 2013
The tragic story of Ian Curtis, lead singer of brilliant post-punk band Joy Division. The black and white cinematography reinforces the bleakness of Curtis' inner world as well as the drabness of the setting in Macclesfield.
Sam Riley gives a good performance as Curtis and the music is great of course. I remember buying Closer in 1980 after Curtis' death. Just such a tragic waste of talent.
