Control by Anton Corbijn

I went to see the movie 'Control' by Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn tonight. I have long admired him for his iconic and unique images of music groups such as U2, Depeche Mode and others... but I have to say that he is also a brilliant director of movies. The movie 'Control' tells the story of the short life of the post punk group Joy Division which came to an abrupt end with the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis in 1980. The movie is filmed in black and white in a documentary style, albeit with 'real' actors... In some images and sequences you can just see the photographer in Corbijn coming through... Really worth watching!
