Continuing the theme of dead icons...I've been scouring the net to find some clips of Anton Corbijn's (iconic photographer/video director) b&w biopic of Ian Curtis (Joy Division), called Control. The official film website doesn't offer much info. Alas, some lovely soul just uploaded the trailer for the film. Once again, thank my God for the YouTube. Ace! Apparently, it has been receiving glowing reviews since its debut at Cannes Film Festival last week. I've been looking forward to seeing this since I heard Anton was directing...but we'll have to wait several more months for the stateside release. Looks..um..dramatic. With Anton Corbijn directing, at least it's guaranteed to be visually stunning. Wonder how it will compare to 24Hour Party People's depiction of Ian....the second clip is a long Dutch interview (subtitled) with Anton that includes several clips from the film. And that's a good thing. So exactly what is Emo?
