Control is Anton Corbijn's 2007 biographical film about Ian Curtis, who was the lead vocalist for the post-punk band Joy Division.
Joy Division stood at the threshold of two emerging genres within the music scene. Their sound embodied the explosive energy of New Wave while the lyrical content presented the angst and melancholy found within Goth. Ian's suicide serves as a testament to the alienation and lack of direction found among countless youths, after the failed promise of revolution and change by the Punk movement.
