Film - Control

I am a huge movie buff, and that is part of the reason Corbijn's work appeals to me. Directing movies attracts me even more to his photography and the way his vision is expressed on to the silver screen.
In 2007, Corbijn would take the directors role in his first feature film. Corbijn stresses the point he does not like the term 'biopic', however this is about the life and death of Joy Division frontman, Ian Curtis. The film is based on the book 'Touching from a Distance' by Curtis' wife Deborah Curtis.
