I watched 24 Hour Party People this weekend. It’s the story of the post-punk Manchester music scene led by Factory Records, Joy Division/New Order and the Happy Mondays. The movie was pretty good. The best thing about it was reminding me how incredible Joy Division was. Go listen to Unknown Pleasures and tell me it isn’t still incredibly ahead of it’s time.As a side note, there appears to be an independent film on the life of Ian Curtis called Control. The trailer looks very good.
