Ian Curtis on 25 October has finally arrived in Italian cinemas Control, the film by Anton Corbijn (famous Dutch photographer father of video art by artists such as U2, Miles Davis, Depeche Mode, Nirvana and Coldplay), which tells the story of Ian Curtis, leader of the British band Joy Division. A little 'provincialism for a bit' for the particularity of the music group, which in Europe is to worship and whose frontman Kurt Cobain a myth comparable to, are almost sconosciuti.La film (film debut of Corbijn), filmed entirely in white and black, to make the full historical period, tells the story of Ian Curtis based on the biography of his wife. The parable of fulminant Curtis and his character, charismatic, epileptic, autistic almost nell'estraneazione, who committed suicide at twenty-four, is rendered in a masterly manner. The history and faithfully reported without being novel, the only remark is perhaps in a too insistent to identify as the cause of the suicide, emotional problems, probably due to the fact that the story of the film is based on the biography written by his wife of the singer. Dip them in the background there, epilepsy, living with distress and despair by Ian and his character that made it very sensitive, but too fragile. The protagonist is played by Sam Riley (first film starring role), chosen for the great similarity with Ian. Gravitate around him his wife Debbie Woodruff played by Samantha Morton, a promising British actress mistress Annik Honoré, a journalist and falls in love with Ian in the role of which engages Alexandra Maria Lara. The film tells the story of a boy who aspires to something much more than live in his Manchester, an industrial city and gray. Listening to people like David Bowie and Iggy Pop decided to begin to tread the stages of the suburbs with a group of friends make the dreams of their lives. The result is explosive because it combines good technical skills of the boys with the wounded soul of the singer in the lyrics and a voice from beyond the grave bride with a distorted music accompanied by percussion that seem to come straight from hell. The fears and emotions that feed his music, however, begin to eat slowly and inexorably. Married with one daughter already at nineteen, not care of the family that he's only source of anxiety and fear. Falls for a young journalist. Being deeply in love with two women leads him to suffer terribly and then to abandon the family. The tension and fatigue, however, undermine his mental health and epilepsy to be added to his guilt and his depression also physical. Surrendering to the weight of responsibility, Ian is left eating his restless soul and tortured. Desperate puts an end to his suffering, committing suicide only 23 years. It tells the actor who played him: "The first thing everyone was asking me how I felt the idea of \u200b\u200bplaying a legend. So that's how people see it, but I did not want to think of him in this way. You can not interpret a legend without putting a certain pomposity in the role while he was a normal person, a guy like many. E 'was only his untimely death, so to make him a legend that continues to fascinate people. "A great film. To see.
