Wed October 10 - Control
It opens up tomorrow in NYC and has a 1 week limited engagement at the film forum. its insanely popular here as almost all shows are sold out. luckily me and a bunch of friends have tix to see it tomorrow. Cant wait!
No clue about other cities - but considering its a limited release here and LA is getting it after us, id imagine dc is much farther down the list before it shows up there.
Joy Division is having a 'moment?'
I am just recently getting into the Joy Division. They are drawing me in like no band has before. Truely amazing stuff. Can't wait for control to be released on DVD(praying for DC dates, but most likely not).
wasn't this "moment" about 4 years ago? seems like the overt joy division tributes were a 2002/3 phenomenon and most new music trends seem to be straying from the JD/Go4 post-post-punk hegemony we had back then
i so have to get to sleep as im dead tired, but hands down one of the best films ive seen this year, if not the best. its dark and hauntingly beautiful and sam riley (playing ian curtis) is amazing. you forget youre not watching a documentary at times, and the live sets will blow your mind away.
im prob seeing it a 2nd time before it leaves theaters. thank god it was shot in black & white - thats how it deserves to be shown.
sal - if youre around saturday let me know. i could be persuaded to catch it again before seeing hot hot heat.

I saw a poster of this up last night at E Street Cinema and the manager said that it is likely to be coming there at some point soon. We'll just have to keep our eyes peeled. I cannot wait to see this one, as well as What We Do Is Secret.
We will host the DC theatrical release party for Control Oct. 27th at BLISS. There are a limited number of free passes (which admit 2) available to the film beginning Nov. 5th for the first 10 folks through the door. Doors at 9:30.
That is doors are at 9:30 p.m., not at 9:30 (club)

might i suggest a 930 forum outing for one of these films?
the film was really beautiful, having it shot in black and white made it really captivating. it was interesting to see all of his different relationships with people and how it effected him i would have liked to see a bit more about the music but i still really enjoyed it.
Did anyone see Control at E Street over the weekend?
I would give it a B-. I thought it covered the parts that 24 Hour Party people left out. For example, less Tony Wilson and more of the manager. The manager was the comedic relief.
I liked the Peter Hook/Bernard Summmer stories. I thought they would show more Ian & Band interaction but they focused on Ian/Debbie. I was never quite sure what the deal with Anika was. They just seemed to be together but didn't show her appeal (other than physical). I could have done with more "young" Ian time but that's a minor quibble.
I loved the sound of the bands rehearsing/recording/live since they didn't use the studio tracks.
In all it's probably a film for the Joy Division enthusist more than those with limited knowledge of JD or fans of New Order.
The Joe Strummer documentary is at E Steet next week and it looks good.
