The film isn’t about Ian, it is told through Tony’s point of view so of course his death is not explored because Tony is a narcissistic asshole who only cares about himself.Īnd finally, I would wager the film probably exposed 1000s more people to Joy Division who went on to learn a lot about the band than would have otherwise, and people who walked away from it thinking that Ian was just some cunt would never have engaged with him in the first place.
He experienced drugs in his early teens when he was taking large amounts of medication such as Valium. He attended Kings School, which he left after reaching O-Levels due to differences of opinion with his teachers.

The fact that you whine about how the movie treats Ian’s death just shows your fanboy goggles have made it so you haven’t actually engaged with the film. Ian Curtis was born on Jin Old Trafford, Manchester, the son of a police officer and grew up in Macclesfield. It’s like saying the movie Anastasia doesn’t provide an accurate portrait of Czar Nicholas 1, when it never even tries to nor would anyone expect it to as it is made for children. Curtis was known for his bass-baritone voice, dance style and songwriting typically filled with imagery of desolation, emptiness and alienation.
He was the lead singer and lyricist of the post-punk band Joy Division and recorded two albums with the group: Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980). It is the first feature film directed by Anton Corbijn, who had worked with Joy Division as a photographer. Ian Kevin Curtis (15 July 1956 ) was an English singer-songwriter and musician. And not only that, the movie could not be clearer or more direct in its claims of artistic liberties and of its unreliable narrator. Control is a 2007 British biographical film about the life of Ian Curtis, singer of the late-1970s English post-punk band Joy Division.

And Peter Hook talked about how a neurologist reviewed the combination of medications that Curtis was taking for his epilepsy and thought that Curtis may have been incorrectly treated.
