Chairman of the Bored Posted 20 May 2007 Share Posted 20 May 2007 Premeiered in Cannes on Thursday. Reviews thus far have been good. Really looking forward to this film as Joy Division were a class act. Saw them supporting Buzzcocks at DMH in 1979. Ian Curtis was mesmeric. Watch the film when it gets released, I think you will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burger Posted 22 May 2007 Share Posted 22 May 2007 I think it was filmed in Nottingham but I'm not sure. Regardless I really want to watch it, I feel regret for appearing in the world late - I missed so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman of the Bored Posted 1 July 2007 Author Share Posted 1 July 2007 I got invited to the cast and crew screening of Control at The Broadway Cinema in Nottingham today. Stunning film. Sam Reilly as Ian Curtis is very believable. It is beautifully filmed with a phtographer's eye (as you'd expect from Anton Corbjin www.corbijn.co.uk. The music is good too and paints a pretty accurate picture of 1976-79, albeit slightly less frantic than I remember it. I must admit to having a tear in my eye at the end. Truly magnificent. Still not sure when it's out in the UK, but for JD fans or fans of post-punk, it's a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra Posted 6 July 2007 Share Posted 6 July 2007 It will be on at the Phoenix at some stage - but not until September at least as they're only showing kids' films during the school holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
