The Life and Death of Ian Curtis

IN HIS FIRST FEATURE-LENGTH FILM, THE MASTER MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHER ANTON CORBIJN CAPTURES THE FINAL YEARS AND DAYS OF THE LEGENDARY JOY DIVISION FRONT MAN IAN CURTIS IN THE TRUEST COLORS—BLACK AND WHITE

"Now Corbijn is making the leap into feature filmmaking with Control, a biopic on the pale front man of Joy Divison, the seminal rock band formed in Salford in 1976. Curtis was only 23 when he took his own life as he struggled to cope with the demands of two women—his wife Deborah and his mistress Annik Honoré—as well as fatherhood, the growing acclaim for his band, and epilepsy."
Control is out in winter 2007
