Last week, Mr. Leah lent me a movie, called "Control".
(Sorry about the French poster)
This movie made by Anton Corbijn in 2007 is about Ian Curtis's life, the singer of the famous band Joy Division. It follows the birth of the band, through the marriage of Ian at nineteen, and the beginning of his problems with epilepsy.
It is a great movie, with greats actors. Sam Riley, who plays Ian Curtis, was great in this role.
If you like their music, or just if you are curious, I really recommend it to you !
Here is a song I really like by Joy Division, called "She's Lost Control".
Hope you like it :)
Bye!

Glad you liked it, Salomé. I also loved the black and white photography, and the fact that the actors played and sang the music. After Curtis's death (sorry, but not really a spoiler), the rest of the band became another great band, New Order.
ReplyDeleteI do not often listen to Joy Division but I would like to see this movie and then learn about it ! I liked the song Salomé posted and I now want to more listen to this band !!
ReplyDeleteI think this kind of movie should be watched more often because we learn a lot about their private life and not only their public one.
ReplyDeleteI love joy division ! but I didn't know the lead singer struggled with epilepsy ... Maybe it is what inspired him for this song ...
