Information from the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2007

CONTROL   It's easy to forget that Ian Curtis, lead singer with Joy Division, was only 23 when his rise to fame was tragically curtailed. His short spell in the spotlight was characterised by an inimitable stage presence and a singular lyrical gift, but also by agonising private conflicts. This feature debut by photographer Anton Corbijn - who took many of the definitive pictures of Joy Division - pays eloquent tribute to its hero, played in a breakout turn by Sam Riley. Samantha Morton co-stars as Curtis's wife Debbie, on whose book the film is based. Distinguished by its intimate connection to its subjects and its unexpected flashes of irreverent humour, this is a work as elegant and emotionally charged as the music that it celebrates.
