Control (2007)

Anton Corbijn makes up for that awful Joy Division video he made in ’88 by giving us a beautifully lit, sumptuous monochrome biopic of singer/poet Ian Curtis' short but affecting life. Everyone involved gives it credibility and an intense but never forced integrity. Corbijn’s masterpiece.
The cinematographer deserves a mention, Martin Ruhe take a bow.
