Joy Division

Arriving on the heels of Control, the acclaimed biopic of doomed Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, Grant Gee's propulsive, incisive documentary widens the angle to explore the whole band and the city that spawned it, the post-industrial English metropolis of Manchester. Featuring previously unseen performance footage, newly discovered audiotapes and the unprecedented participation of surviving members Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris (who went on to form New Order), this is the definitive account of Joy Division, capturing the excitement of the band's rise, the tragedy of its end and its enduring musical and cultural legacy.
