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’s difficult relationships with his wife Deborah (Samantha Morton) and the way his personal pain, epileptic sufferings, guilt and depression got manifested through Joy Division’s music. Playing all the instruments themselves, the actors must be given credit.
