anyone seen this yet? I'm going to tomorrow... wasn't sure about it when i heard it was being made but looking forward to it now, lots of 5 star reviews and its in beautiful black and white! |
||||||||

oh and incase you don't know what i'm talking about its a film about the life of the Joy Division singer Ian Curtis |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I wanted to see it. Its playing here because the Chicago International Film Festival is currently going on but I don't know. I was out and about during last Friday's screening and saw people with Joy Division tshirts and it just made me want to download/rent it instead. Its playing again Tuesday. I might go see it then. |

Beware! The link is a trap! It will trap you in a neverending cycle consisting of "hey... haven't I read this before?" followed by "ooh... a link..." and so on and so on! You're evil! |

lol the new link works |

I'm really annoyed cos the nearest place I can see it is Cardiff - 90 minutes away. Next Saturday I'll be going up there. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Well, was it any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooh I'm going to see this today! Opinions? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was excellent, lovely b/w photography, the guy who played Ian Curtis IS Ian Curtis in the live scenes! And there is a hot french chick in it too which is always good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds good! A must see... |

she's belgian, you IDIOT. Anyway, just got back from seeing this. I thought it was great too. My friend who I went to see it with, said she wasn't too impressed as she never felt too connected with the characters. I had to disagree though. I thought the way that the hopelessness and desperation and misery that take over you with depression, was portrayed amazingly. It's always nice watching a film set in a place where you're from too. :) It made me a bit cynical about the accents though, they all sounded a bit too northern, as if they were from Yorkshire rather than Cheshire. The acting between Ian and Annik was beautiful, maybe it's something to do with the fact that they are actually in a relationship and fell in love whilst filming Control. |

They were from Macc, which is a wierd accent. My brother in law went to the premier and said it was good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh, it wasn't a Macclesfield accent. He's from leeds and you could really tell. His accent came through much stronger than the character's. His wife's from Nottingham and was a bit dodgy too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh well, anyone not from the north will not know. North Americans will think he is Australian anyhow. |

i really didn't like it. i mean they all look like a bunch of pretty folk from one of those annoying beer commercials. It wasn't gritty. it wasn't atmospheric. it was over stylized and sign posty. The girl in it was good and the live performances where admittedly very good but it's not a good film. imo. barry normankoff |

needed to be more like threads without the bomb=] |

What do you mean it wasn't gritty? I thought the portrayal of his depression was amazing. Watching him was exactly like watching myself when I was depressed (minus the suicide attempts etc). The way he just sat there staring at the tv, with tears pouring down his face, not concentrating on anything but still being depressed as fuck was so realistic. The way no matter what he was doing, whether singing or fucking his wife, his mind wasn't fully there, it was completely submerged in his depression, and he constantly broke down whatever he was doing, was exactly as depression is. |

i honestly found it unconvincing and shallow. we should meet up and i'll show you a really awful time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry, what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could try watching with unknown pleasures on in the background? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea what your point is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i'm going to go take a bath face down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sorry my ability to follow your point has frustrated you so much. I just found your sudden aggression about our difference in opinion completely random and didn't really know how to take it |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
oop INability* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really didn't mean it aggressively at all, i'm sorry if you read it that way. it's just opinions on the internet. imagine it like a game of gaylord tennis=] |

why dont the both of you fuck already |

moopy! <3 |

do you say that in lots of conversations? |

One thing I wasn't too keen on was they slight modernisation of the clothes & hair etc. I mean, maybe my standards of authenticity are too high after something like This Is England, where they got it completely right which really added to the film. I just thought that perhaps they were trying to dilute the datedness of the fashion - which is a real shame, the look was integral to that movement really. The manager guy looked like he was straight out of an American Apparel advert :( Also Coogan's Tony Wilson was much better I thought. The script was quite stylised which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I don't know, I just think that era would have benefitted from being portrayed with a bit more realism/naturalism. |

off topic: there's a really good hungarian film called Kontrol. check it out! |

Ultra-realism is a nice new addition to cinema. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe it's because the actors played the songs themselve as well: so it was to emphasize that it's just actors portraying how the director saw this story |

I'll have to go to Chicago to see this movie. I think it's playing at the musicbox next weekend. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so it's by this dutch photographer guy corbijn (who's been in england forever now, one of the first bands he photographed was control), he's famous for, among other stuff, the u2 pictures. also he made nirvana's heart shaped box, and metallica's until it sleeps. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and a lot of things for depeche mode... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To be fair, I think all Anton really did was run the camera and do his trademark blurring of the face for the Heart Shaped Box video. It really was all Kurt's idea. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i'm no fan of his anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Most of his videos I've seen involve vehicles driving somewhere. I like them. Especially the black and white ones. His video for Atmosphere is one of my favorite music videos. |

Make that Bristol, half the time nearer too. Yay. |

It's a brilliant film, real shame it isn't being shown at more cinemas! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
I hate these fucking americatized trailers.. it turns me away from the movie completely. |
||||||||
|
