I've also had one of those red LoveFilm envelopes sitting on top of my DVD player, like a little blinking light, chiding me for not watching it for what must be a couple of months. I seem to be off films at the moment.
However, after yet another Saturday working, and not feeling like roaming the streets, I caught up with it that evening. The film was Control, a black and white biopic of Ian Curtis, of Joy Division, directed by Mr Joshua Tree. Since then, Joy Division have been everywhere, including the front of the NME this week. And the films in the adverts also got referenced at a bbq I went to. What does this all signify? Nothing, but possibly everything...
Liked the Graham Robb character, who must have written that Stone Roses book, and the final shot of the smoke and crematorium. And every rock star needs an Annik.
Otherwise, nicely understated film making (except the self-conscious Black and White).
