Complete Control

|
Jo and I watched the Joy Divison film 'Control' last night.  It's an excellent film, enjoyable from many perspectives, very nostalgic, moving, troubled and beaufifully shot by Anton Corbijn.

The only downside is I found myself feeling frustrated that I could have seen this band a dozen times or so times in London, and yet I didn't actually start to like them until after the death of Ian Curtis...sigh.

The film closes with 'Atmosphere', a track that could easily lapse into bathos but instead is a beautiful and majestic track...it brought tears to my eyes.
