Excellent Portrayal

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2007)

This was such a beautifully sad and real film. In the better understanding of the ins and outs of Ian Curtis' inner conflicts and self judgments, this film explains some of the apparent weight behind the amazing music of Joy Division. From deep and despondent looks to the intensely passionate emotion and body movement,Sam Riley seems to have precisely tapped into Ians spirit and portrayed him ideally. The details and background make you have a real sense of the time and place of Manchester in the 70's. Thank You Deborah Curtis, Anton Corbijn, and everyone involved, this film seems to have done Ian, music fans, and film fans great justice! I highly recommend to everyone.
