Control

Under discussion:

Control  (2007)

Control is the biopic about Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Division. I don't know much about the subject matter, but the film seemed to paint a pretty honest portrait. Shot in black and white, Sam Riley ("24 Hour Party People") as Curtis, is sometimes painful to watch as he deals with epilepsy. Samantha Morton ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age") is equally good as his wife, Deborah. The film uses much of Joy Division's music, as well as other music from that era. I didn't love it, but that may have been because it was so bleak and depressing.
