Antes de ver este convencional pero interesante documental sobre la banda Joy Division, quizás convenga ver antes 24 Hour Party People (2002), de Michael Winterbottom, un falso documental, que involucra a varios personajes relacionados, directa o indirectamente, con el surgimient...( read more)
i missed this one in the cinema just seen on dvd great sits alongside `Control`
Very strong retrospective of their work. I was happy to see Genesis P-Orridge appear!
Excelente documentário de uma das maiores bandas já formadas, onde seus ex-integrantes comentam tudo sobre o início, a breve trajetória e o seu fim trágico....
A good look at the history of Joy Division from the perspective of the other guys in the band (New Order. Make a night of Joy Division. Watch this, then watch 2007's Control.
i ended up really enjoying this; very candid interviews and recounts, especially with peter hook & tony wilson. the live footage is also great and the special features contain a many more short interview segments, as well as the live promotional taping of "t...( read more)
Joy Division is a documentary on the famous British band of the same name. It's a great accompaniment to the film CONTROL. Joy Division was reaching new found success and even had a hit song, when their lead singer, Ian Curtis suddenly committed suicide on the eve of their first ...( read more)

Unlike the also great CONTROL, this film focus more on the music and the creative process of the band and the Manchester scene. More than a portrayal of a band and its tragic demise, a portrait of an age.
Less accessible to newcomers to Joy Division than the estimable 'Control' but a treasure for fans with copious extras.
I didn't care for the style of this documentary but would still recommend it to Joy Division fans.
Best music doc ive seen! Had heaps of footage I didnt even know exsisted a must see for any Joy division fan!!!
absolutely amazing movie, very sad, and a little eerie. The movie was great.
probably the best music doc i've seen. so complete, given the resorces. got all sad with tony wilson's parts(now deceased) and even peel(dead too). made me want rob gretton(yup, him too) to have told an anecdote or twelve. the extras are like an extra hour of the doc and enjoyabl...( read more)
I loved this documentary. It really reminded me of how great Joy Division's music is and it was interesting to hear the bandmates talk about Ian Curtis' death...something I had never heard before and was rather moving because it STILL affects them all these years later.
A remarkably well made documentary about the band Joy Division, the city of Manchester and the music scene the sprung from there in the late 70's and which continues to be a vital source of talent and influence in the music industry today.
While I enjoyed this film immensely....( read more)
A great documentary that acts as an audio/visual history lesson and a great double feature to Anton Corbijn's "Control" [the biopic on Ian Curtis]. It was really fascinating to hear the story told by the guys [and then some]. And I must add, there is sort of a nerdy charm to Step...( read more)
Without doubt one of the best music documentaries in the history of ever.
I got the feeling it must've been difficult to get the interviewees to stop talking once they started.
I think I heard some songs I haven't heard before. Really insightful. Joy Division is interviewed!
what can you say about a documentary??...well it was informative and interesting and yet for me not really worth watching on the big screen-this type of documentary is the type of one that you would watch on either bbc2 or channel 4 one night.film for the music fans.(although thi...( read more)
"Sooner or later, someone was gonna want to say more than fuck you, someone was really gonna say I'm fucked. And it was Joy Division who was the first band to do that, to use the energy and simplicity of punk to express more complex emotions."
"Ian's writing was very much a po...( read more)
