Joy Division, music documentary, Ian Curtis RIP babe

Description

As surely as as any other influence, places make bands. Liverpool and the Beatles, Detroit and the Stooges, Springsteen and Jersey. One of the strengths of this propulsive, incisive music documentary – one of its many strengths – is how imaginatively it communicates how Manchester made Joy Division, and how Joy Division remade Manchester, an aging, wheezing English industrial powerhouse given a cultural and even spiritual infusion by a sound that was remarkably, inexplicably new.
