"Having lived through the events portrayed,followed the music press devotedly at the time...the story was a given...I had a good idea how it would look...."24 Hour Party People" gave the now dead Tony Wilson's perspective..Anton Corbijns photos from the NME were regulars on my bedroom wall,and as he has said, Joy Division's career was documented almost entirely in black and white..the film just had to be that way too,and it is brilliantly realised....I never did own a Joy Division record .I did admire the sheer heart-wrenching artistry ,but really found it too relentlessly melancholic. Maybe ,like Cobain a few years later,you could detect the creator remaning too immersed in the down side of the manic process of music making and performing. "Control" as a piece of moviemaking is a triumph for Anton Corbijn and the actors, who were determined to perform the music live..and they are brilliant,at least as good as the real thing. In one sequence ,it seems that we are hearing the record ... "

"Several of our favorite blogs have noted the passing of British music impresario Tony Wilson. Manchester tastemaker Wilson (who was played by Steve Coogan in Michael Winterbottom’s 24 Hour Party People) founded Factory Records, and is generally considered at least partially responsible for launching the careers of The Fall, OMD and Joy Division (and later New Order). Wilson is portrayed by Craig Parkinson in Anton Corbijn’s upcoming Joy Division film Control, which will screen at the Toronto Film Festival before opening in the States in October. This gives me the excuse I’ve been waiting for to make the Control trailer our Clip of the Day. It’s embedded above.

"I finally got to catch The Road to Guantanamo last night. This docu-drama was directed by Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People, Wonderland and 9 Songs) and Mat Whitecross. The film tells the story of 3 young men from England (but of Pakistani descent) who find themselves in the middle of Kondoz, Afghanistan (a Taliban stronghold) in the midst o the American attachs in 2001. As a result, they spent years in the prisons of Sheberghan and Guantanamo and were subjected to most of the now infamous interrogation techniques. What I found most interesting about this film was the use of a wide range of story-telling elements. From reena "
