CONTROL



Shoot Me Film Festival in The Hague organized an extraordinary retrospective with the Dutch photographer and film maker Anton Corbijn, wellknown from his music videos for big names like Nirvana, Depeche Mode, Johnny Cash and Coldplay. His last movie The American was mainly in the publicity, but "Control" is the first film he made in 2007, it's clear Corbijn is a visual artist, the style is like his Kodak Tri-x photographs. It's a biography of Ian Curtis, and his life in the band Joy Division. From a little town boy he changed in a tortured soul with epilepsy and depression. He's lost control.
