Bristol Cinema - Control, Bristol, Somerset
7 October 2007: Bristol Cinema - Control
This feature debut by renowned photographer Corbijn manages to balance the angular modernism of Joy Division's music and austere black and white imagery with a deadpan Mancunian wit to create a unique portrait of the early 80s.
'Newcomer Sam Riley does a magnificent job of appearing to completely inhabit rather than just emulate Ian Curtis and its a credit to him the performance is so subtle and restrained that it brings the contrasting and dramatic elements in his life sharply into relief.'
'As sad as the Ian Curtis story is, Corbijn and his actors let so much air and light into the movie that it's never oppressive. The songs are performed by Riley and the actors who portray his bandmates, and they work as a homage to the band's music rather than a dogged re-creation of it. And "Control" is, to put it plainly, the most beautiful-looking picture I've seen all year'
'Corbijn's movie is shot in a stunning high-contrast monochrome, perversely turning Macclesfield's grimness into grandeur. It effortlessly revives a British cinematic style that you might call beautiful realism, reaching back to Christopher Petit's Radio On, and further back to Tony Richardson's The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and A Taste of Honey.'
'But it's not necessary to have a love or knowledge of Joy Division for Control is simply a great film in its own right, a uniquely original portrait of a tormented soul and made with passion and vision.'
