Review of Control (2007) by Rich F — 05 Jul 2012
A surefire must for anyone who likes Joy Division / New Order...the film focuses on Ian Curtis (Joy Division's lead singer) rise to fame and his troubled relationship juggling his dual life (Impending Rock stardom, Hum drum Macclesfield husband life), Epilepsy and Depression.
..Superb performances from Sam Riley who play Ian Curtis (Can't believe he sang and hasn't been in anything of any significance since) and Deborah Curtis (Ian's wife - on who's biography the film is loosely based).
..for me the fact the film is shot in B&W adds atmosphere (No pun intended!).
