A Season of Joy

I can't believe I didn't write up something about "Control," the movie about Ian Curtis. Took DJ to see it the night it opened here in Tallahassee. At this point I'll just say it was a great movie, definitely shows a bit of a slant as it was Deborah's story, but well made, emotional, somewhat informative and very entertaining.



I was just in a discussion in a Side-Line forum about how even a documentary would not be able to get Ian's full story since it died with him...and now this gets tossed around. A promotional video for the "new" documentary called "Joy Division" which was released (or at least it was shown at a Manchester film festival) back in 2007. So far, what i've read about it, granted a lot of it is blogger stuff, has been very positive. Regardless, i'm lookin' forward to this one just as much (maybe even more so). I'm guessing it will be better than the "Wired:Joy Division" two part mini-documentary a Factory Records promotional (UK 1988 (Factory FAC 211) [promo]).

If this isn't enough...then watch this as well...it's probably better than all the other videos on here put together.
