This film is directed by the acclaimed photographer Anton Corbijn, so as you would expect the filming of it is brilliant and keeps the film interesting.
It is based on Deborah Curtis's "Touching from a Distance," and is the story of the late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis's life, from the bands rise to fame to his tragic suicide.
It is described as "Electric" BY TIME OUT.
It stars Samatha Morton (Minority Report, Sweet and Lowdown) "Beautifully Performed - Samatha Morton is Dynamite"THE OBSERVER, Alexandra Maria Lara (Downfall, Youth Without Youth) and shows an incredible performance by Sam Riel as Ian Curtis. "Sam Riley is a Revelation"THE TIMES.
The film documents the rise of the the band and the effects it has on his relationship with his wife and girlfriend and his health, with his battle with epilepsy.
I don't know what I was expecting from this film but I could ent help but find it slightly disappointing. It was shoot fantastically but it was a bit slow to get going, however Sam Riley did a solid performance as Ian Curtis and it was an interesting film to watch.
