Joy Division CONTROL film Q & A with Anton Corbijn

Music by Toronto composer Ibrahim. See details below.

The North American debut of director Anton Corbijn's film CONTROL took place at the Toronto International Film Festival, September 2007. The film tells the story of Ian Curtis, the enigmatic singer from Joy Division who committed suicide at the age of 23 just as the band was starting to gain a new level of popularity in 1980. Sam Riley's incredible performance as Ian brings to life Ian's lyrics which, in retrospect, were quite autobiographical, touching on his battles with epilepsy, the pressures of marrying and being a father at an early age and the guilt of carrying on an adulterous love affair.

Aldo Erdic from ToBeScene was at the premiere screening to record the question and answer session with Anton Corbijn, Sam Riley and Alexandra Maria Lara who played Annik Honoré, Ian's mistress.

The music in this video segment is by Ibrahim and the track is called "My Doubts":

Creepy, short, fat bitch from Nowhere, North Carolina. caseyramone is a no-talent drummer in a going-nowhere avant-trash (aka let's dress up like rejects from a John Waters casting call); has no taste, no direction, and hasn't got a clue. So sad. Since when is it a "marketing idea" for actors to wear black to a film's premier? "Cheap marketing idea"??? WTF r u talking about? Keep your job as slugbitch in the freak show & save up & buy real drum set you cheap bitch.

@JM4EDR Nice post, JM4EDR!! Agree with every word you've said!!

[scotsburd63]

@Kristin14282 Agreed! Even though you wrote this 2 years ago....lol (just kidding!)

This is a wonderful video - many thanks to Tobescene for posting - its a pity however that I couldn't really make out what the lady was asking Sam/talking about about 15-16 mins towards the end.... picked up something about Ian's suicide and the movie making her cry....and Sam saying "Sorry Love!" (the sweetie!!) that's about it. Does anyone have a clue what's being said ?
