Control- The Joy Division Film @ UofL, 1/17
Friday, January 11th, 2008
Control, the debut film by celebrated rock photographer and video maker Anton Corbijn, documenting the life of Ian Curtis, late frontman of Manchester’s post-punk band Joy Division, is playing at UofL’s Floyd Theatre (SAC W308) Thursday, January 17 @ 6:00, 8:30 pm. It’s essentially free ($1 with student ID, $2 w/o) & if you’ve got the time, there’s no reason to miss this.
Then, if you like Control, I strongly encourage the immediate renting of 24 Hour Party People….as it loosely documents Manchester’s Factory Records incredible rise to fame, as just as quickly its demise. By association, it also documents Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays, and bits here & there about a few others…I absolutely loved 24 Hour Party People & strongly encourage going to see Control.
