Joy Division's Love To Tear Up Film
By Mack Rawden: 2007-10-08 21:21:54
You’ve probably never heard of Ian Curtis, and that is a damn shame. The eccentric Englishman was the founder and lead singer of Joy Division (that band that wrote “Love Will Tear Us Apart”), and his work had a direct and dramatic effect on Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, U2, and even The Cure. With his marriage crumbling and epileptic seizures disrupting his work, Ian Curtis hung himself, while Iggy Pop’s The Idiot was screaming its way on loop. Since that tragic morning in 1980, he was become a cult hero in England but largely forgotten in America. A new film is hoping to change that.
According to The New York Times, Control, a biopic chronicling the rise and fall of Joy Division, has been getting rave reviews. Rhino will also re-release the influential band’s two studio albums on October 30th to commemorate the film’s release. It’s unclear how many theaters this will find its way into, but that shouldn’t stop you from heading to your local music store and purchasing both of their bleak and beautiful albums. I’d go purchase them, but I don’t need two copies. RELATED: control, ian curtis, joy division
