Control
Matilde 2022-04-20 09:01:57
A powerful powerful performance by Sam Riley. The black and white is used harmoniously with the pace of the film and really captures the essence of a man trying to have control for a future. It is so easy to be caught up in the heat of emotion and the moment, but what is important is your ability to control it once it becomes part of your life. Ian Curtis desperately tries to overcome all the situational difficulties, but every time he thinks he can do it he is defeated by the disease he cannot control. His suicide is the culmination of all his struggles. The music is also great, especially the song she's lost control.
