Has anyone seen Control? It's about the late-70s band Joy Division. My (rocker) guy was appalled that I hadn't heard of them... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_division
Anyway, the movie was great - well acted, well filmed, with a story about as tragic as a young life can be... www.imdb.com/title/tt0421082/
Check it out if you want a good non-uplifting indie ... and let me know what you think!

Good to see a post from you... smile.
Ow. Sorry... I think I might have broken or fractured one of my toes; I fly out to Michigan tomorrow. Some fun! I'm trying to run around and get everything done and it is not helping my toe situation.
In anycase... I LOVE Joy Division and New Order for that matter. smile.
I would suggest a couple of other films that you might find interesting.
24 Hour Party People w/ Steve Coogan Sp? It looks at the whole Manchester music scene at the time and though it doesn't concentrate on Joy Division solely... it is very interesting.
I would also reccommend the documentary about Joy Division... it might just be called Joy Division. I can't remember.

Thanks, TG! It's good to be back.
I appreciate the info! I remember seeing the Joy Division preview before Control. The movie definitely made me want to know more about the band... I'll have to check that out.
