Control is the biography of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis, taking his story from schoolboy days of 1973 to his suicide on the eve of the band\u2019s first American tour in 1980.<\/p>\n

In this time we see Curtis grow from David Bowie-infatuated teen to Sex Pistols-inspired punk, and eventually to rising new wave star.<\/p>\n

The movie explores the pressures he felt, from his epilepsy, a failing marriage, his new lover, and a band that relied on him \u2013 all in an attempt to explain his decision to hang himself at the age of 23.<\/p>\n

The movie is based on Deborah Curtis\u2019s biography \u201cTouching from a Distance\u201d .<\/p>\n
