About

You can watch Control (2007) for free on Kanopy.

The story of Joy Division’s lead singer Ian Curtis, from his schoolboy days in 1973 to his suicide on the eve of the band's first American tour in 1980.

Black-and-white cinematography captures the jagged, rhythmic energy of the Manchester punk scene with startling intimacy. This portrait moves beyond a standard biopic to trace the haunting intersection of creative brilliance and debilitating epilepsy.
