CONTROL - JOY DIVISION MOVIE

I want to check out the movie Control, directed by black & white loving über-photographer Anton Corbijn, which opens sometime this month. It's the story of Ian Curtis and Joy Division, and it looks quite interesting. One thing I can guarantee: there will be no happy Hollywood ending. Here's a clip of them live at the BBC show "The Wedge" from 1979.



Now that I watch that, I doubt the movie could match that 3½ minute clip. Interesting note: this clip is bookended by John Cooper Clarke reading the lyrics to his song "Evidently Chickentown" (which was used by David Fucking Chase during the final season of "The Sopranos".)
