I went to see it this weekend as well and have to agree with previous comments - highly recommended. Really liked the script, which was full of memorable lines and moments, and of course the music is excellent as they were able to use all the original material and had plenty of people available to make sure they picked the right stuff. The guy who played Ian Curtis was particularly good and had Curtis's stage presence down to a 'T' (as verified by the people I went with, both of whom saw Joy Division live), as was Steve Coogan as Tony Wilson, the bumbling middle class romantic. The Hacienda scenes were cool, too - just like I remember it - and there were loads of great cameos by the likes of Mark E Smith etc.
An absolute must for anyone into music, IMO; even if the bands like New Order, the Mondays etc mean nothing to you (and I'm guessing that almost everyone on this list likes New Order), you'll still enjoy it. Personally it brought back loads of memories, and watching to the follow up documentary on C4 the night after I saw it was just an added bonus! Funny, inspiring and touching, with a great soundtrack - go see. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
