Control Movie
A biographic film. Based on the memoir Touching From A Distance by Deborah Curtis, Control is a cinematographic story telling us of the Joy Division band and its leader Ian Curtis (Sam Riley). It is also a skillfully and beautifully featured film about ravaging effects of love, fame and repentance, and the salvation we turn to art for. Formed as a rock band in 1976 in salford, Greater Manchester, originally named Warsaw, Joy Division quickly went off their initial punk rock influences and created a sound and style that shaped the tendencies of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s. Control, however, is virtually about Curtis
