A very good movie

Since I kept hearing some good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out but, eventually, it turned out to be even better than I expectecd. To be honest, it must be one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen but it was still very good anyway. Indeed, the directing by Anton Corbijn was kind of mesmerizing which is even more impressive when you take into account that it was his directing debut and the main actor (Sam Riley) provided a great performance as well. It’s interesting that, for both of them, Corbijn and Riley, I had some great expectations after such an impressing debut but, unfortunately, their career didn’t really deliver the goods after that. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, the whole thing was very efficient in providing the feeling of that period and a feeling of the punk movement. You could also almost feel Ian Curtis's malaise. The best thing about this flick is that I didn’t really like Joy Division’s music, to be honest, but this biopic was still quite mesmerizing nonetheless. To conclude, I thought it was a really impressive picture and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Joy Division.
