Synopsis

Directed by acclaimed music photographer Anton Corbijn and on Deborah Curtis’ “Touching from a Distance”, Control is the story of the late Joy Division singer Ian Curtis’s life, from the band’s rise to fame to his tragic suicide.

Starring Samantha Morton (Minority Report) and Alexandra Maria Lara (Downfall) and featuring an incredible performance from newcomer Sam Riley (24 Hour Party People) as Ian Curtis, Control documents the relationships with both his wife and his girlfriend, his battle with epilepsy and the road to success with his band, Joy Division. With a score by New Order featuring original tracks from the 70s by Warsaw and Joy Division.
