I was hesitant on watching the movie Control because the subject matter is not very uplifting or upbeat. The film is art; it’s a masterpiece of entertainment.
The acting alone, Sam Riley and Samantha Morton, is transpiring while the black and white photography sets the eeriness of the coming suicide of the genius of punk rock. The film went under my skin and stayed there throughout. At times I wanted to reach out and help Ian Curtis; he was looking for help and solutions to his trouble life of epilepsy and love. Yet, it ended tragically, a tale well told by director Anton Corbijn.
With that all said, I believe, you’d want to see this film — Control. I have Control DVD to giveaway. Simply post your name and I will pick the winner Thursday July 31st. Good luck.

What a compelling yet depressing movie. It’s interesting to see Samantha Morton play a dishrag wife. Was she herself pregnant during the filming? She looks quite heavy. Excellent performances and I’d love to own my own copy for repeat views.

I love Joy Division. When my daughter was about four years old, we had to take an 8 hour road trip with no radio (or any other kind of entertainment device) and I taught her the lyrics to “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” It was pretty weird hearing a 4 year old sing some of those lines, but I was one proud mama.
