JOY DIVISION (M)

Dir: Grant Gee
UK/USA  2007  93mins  Digital

In 1976 four young men from ruined, post-industrial Manchester formed the band Joy Division. Three years later, on the cusp of international stardom, the band was changed forever as art, life and a tragic death tore them apart. Today, Joy Division’s profound legacy still resonates fiercely in today's heavily careerist music industry. Features extensive archival footage and new interviews with Tony Wilson, Peter Saville, Pete Shelley, Anton Corbijn (director of CONTROL) and all the surviving members of Joy Division.
