Control (Movie Watch)

Ian Curtis had aspirations beyond the trappings of small town life in 1970’s England. Wanting to emulate his musical heroes, David Bowie & Iggy Pop, he joins a band, & his musical ambition begins to thrive. Soon though, the everyday fears & emotions, that fuel his music, slowly begin to eat away at him. Married young, with a daughter, he is distracted from his family commitments by a new love & the growing expectations of his band, Joy Division. The strain manifests itself in his health. With epilepsy adding to his guilt & depression, desperation takes hold. Surrendering to the weight on his shoulders, Ian’s tortured soul consumes him.
