LOST CONTROL

Must admit I had to search... A 'specialist' cinema in Southampton is the closest.

Closest is either Nottingham or Milton Keynes. And we have 8-a-side 5.30 - 6.30 on a Friday night.

Corby Order in total fucking Disgust.

Shug, when I lived in Corby (a long time ago...) me and me mate used to got to the cinema in Wellingborough which used to show all sorts of Art/Indie films... Is it still there?

Ha ha! There used to be one of them on Oxford Road, near to the Thirsty Scholar and A1 Music.

Anyone remeber what it was called?

Agreed... It's a proper shithole. I'd say it's worse than Corby myself... And they're all Sheepshaggers cousins!

just booked our tickets.

9pm FACT in Liverpool this Friday. it was either that or 6.20pm.

Oh!! the joys of living in a proper city.

Cannot find anywhere in Derby either at the moment, looks like Notts for me.

if it wasn't on in Liverpool, i wouldn't even go. i'd wait for the vid. fuck all that inter-crossing-city-counties-mountains-snow lark.

Shug,where the fucks sheepshagland

Thought you might have wanted to go to watch it in Manchester

Nope , not showing in Rugby either.Not even in Coventry by the looks of things.Not that i'd want to go to that chav infested doghole anyhow.Looks like Birmingham then

It's showing at the following Vue cinemas:

Basingstoke Festival Place Bristol Longwell Green Bury Cambridge Cheshire Oaks Fulham Broadway Islington Leeds The Light Plymouth Portsmouth Shepherds Bush York

And you can see which CINEWORLDs are showing it by clicking Here.

EDIT: closest one to ma hoose is Edinburgh or Glasgow.

That would be Edinburgh then. You don't go to Glasgow to watch a black and white film. That wouldn't be right

No. I mean a SPECIALIST cinema. Showed mucky films. On the corner before the Medlock and railway bridge - just before the Thirsty Schollar going into town.

And don't call me son, I don't like it.

Good news about the Belmont - didn't see it on their site.

Is there a breakfast showing?

If theres tickets available for Cornerhouse tomoz then i'm there. Otherwise its Bury on Sunday evening.

I'm sure it's still there, does this warrant a meet-up...?!

I'm just about to lose control The film has been given rave reviews (you just have to see the official website) so why on earth are they only showing it at a little more then a dabble of cinemas.

I understand it is a movie that will only appeal to a certain audience but as far as I know they are not showing it in the whole of Essex.

I thought they were showing it at Lakeside but I was wrong.

How can I find out? I have been on the official site but it won't let me put my e-mail address in

So it's Stevenage or Cambridge for me. Could've seen it with the Corby Order if they were prepared to do Peterborough if it was showing there. I'm pretty pissed off about this.

Why didn't they do some research to find where there are concentrations of JD fans?

Does one person in an inbred Fen village count as a concentration of JD fans?

If this sort of bitching about not being able to see a little art film became a habit, England might get itself a decent national film culture again.

I've just come back from watching the advance showing in Macclesfield. You know it's a home fixture when everybody cheers at the opening caption ' Macclefield 1973'.

I couldn't get over the age range of the audience. I was expecting lots of forty-somethings and a smattering of hip kids, but pensioners? Were they Ian's neighbours or something?

The film's attention to period is spot on and the use of actual Macclesfield locations adds gravitas. The B&W photography is stunning, as you might expect. I never saw Joy Division live, but the concert scenes looked utterly convincing.

I know everybody is obviously partisan around here, but this film is a beatiful piece of art in its own right. My only criticism is that, at two hours, maybe it needed pruning.

The audience burst into applause at the credits.

What a load of old crap...

To watch a movie I have to travel from Southend to London or next nearest Stevenage.

How come it is not being shown in the whole of Essex? I don't think it is being shown in Kent either.

Some much for all the hype as obviously they don't think it will appeal to people outside the cities particulary in the South.

Saw it this afternoon with a grand total of nine other people in the audience. Sound and vision kept going out of sync which was reallyfuckingannoying.

Have to confess - my initial fears from the trailers were confirmed and I found it hard going, what with Sam Riley looking far more like Steve Morris than IC, and no-one else looking particularly like who they were supposed to be playing.

The last 5 mins were genuinely touching though.

Peterborough is a decent size city so I would've thought it would be on there. It would have a big catchment area too.

The cinema in March is the AV system in my lounge Or it may as well be cos the cinema only shows stuff months after it's been out and is only open Monday and Tuesday, the sound is shit and you sit so far from the screen cos it doubles up as the bingo hall, you need opera glasses.

I'm only here to diversify the genes

caught the 8.55 showing in pompey ,, fair size audience,,,,

stuning is the only word i can use,, how did he manage to make mac look attractive?

the 70.s are still as shit as i remember them ,,,,,ians mums changed a bit since 24 hour people.

at the end some one said,, is that it?,, want do you want love ,, the resurection??

dont walk away.

Went to watch the film in Milton Keynes.Crap town ,but great cinema. Superb film in every department.Myself and the othe 14 members of the audience had a great evening. Nachos weren't up to much though.

Bit harsh, Clive? Granted, it's not as good as many critics are claiming (I didn't love it immediately like "24HPP", for example), but still largely stunning. Spot on about the closing sequence, mind: several people blubbing very loudly for the last 10 minutes when I saw it in Manc yesterday....

...though that might be due to the appearance of my monstrous mush during "SLC" and "Dead Souls"....

I've just checked the listings for every cinema in Ireland - North & South. Its playing in 2 screens in Dublin & one in Belfast - thats all!

& the two screens in Dublin are both city centre - only 1/2 mile apart.

It's OK for me on Dubland, but I pity those in Cork, Limerick, Galway, Derry & all points inbetween - i would't fancy the 200-300mile+ round trips they would have to endure just to see this.

Saw it last night in Stevenage - luckily only 15 minutes away from my house in Hertford.

Have to say the Stevenage Cineworld was pretty empty last night for the 6.25pm showing. Think there was only about 10 people (including me) watching Control. At least I had the pick of the best seats! However, pretty poor for the opening night of a film - or maybe just not many Joy Division fans in the Stevenage area. How full have cinemas been in other UK towns for Control?

I don't know why everybody tries to paint Macclesfield as the grimmest place on earth. It's just a fairly typical northern ex-mill town surrounded by posh villages and rolling hills (which looked curiously odd in monochrome). I've read a few comments elsewhere that the depiction of Manchester wasn't dark enough. That's because most of the external shots are Macc.

I don't live there, by the way. I'm in Stockport up the road (which has its own JD/NO connections).

Not too sure about going to see this. Looks visually amazing, but I doubt it'll be a laugh a minute plus we all know what happens in the end, don't we?

To balance that I should point put that having to stop myself several times during the film to work out who certain people were supposed to be was the only thing that bothered me.

On the plus side, the recreation of the era in general and some of the locations in particular were outstanding. The 'Transmission on the TV' scene is an obvious example - you could see that cast and crew had studied that hard and nailed it. Ian's moves and even the camera angles were spot on.

I wasn't sure whether letting the 'band' play the music themselves was going to work - but it did. To have them mime over a recording would have looked shite. So 'Ian' didn't really sound like Ian - but who does?

Spotted you straight away. You were magnificent dah-ling.

Going there Sunday evening (possibly nearest one to Southend) 9:15 kick off so I expect to be home about 1:30am

I expect it will be just me and two mates in the cinema then if only 10 for the opening

I was trying not to be too much of a Joy Division spod as facts inevitably have to be compressed to fit into a film BUT ... they did Shadowplay on Granada. Transmission and She's Lost Control were for a BBC yoof programme

Yes exactly - the Granada Reports intro has become fused with the Something Else performance. Maybe the actors couldn't play Shadowplay!

old blue wrote, maybe the actors couldt play shadowplay

i thought that as i watched it then realised the killers do shadowplay at the end,,so probably didt want to repeat the song.

knowing no more.

The closest place to teesside that its playing is Silverlink in NORTH SHIELDS!

I'm still going to go on Wednesday though :\ohwell:

Some SPOILERS here so you have been warned. Saw it at Stevenage yesterday - me and 7 other people 2 of whom I went with. I thought it was good but Ian being 'one of the lads' doesn't really come across. There is enough in Torn Apart,Touching from a Distance and what we all know to make the film. So why use Transmission for the Granada Reports part, the hypnosis scene is rather pointless and the inclusion of a fit before 'the end' is surely speculation.

Took mini Hac to see it tonight, went to The Phoenix again but steered clear of the bar this time. About 50 in tonight and the girl behind the 1950's ticket counter said there was about 150 in last night. Mini Hac started crying when LWTUA was played and didn't stop till the film finished, great film with excellent actors and highly recommended.

Does anyone know where i can get her a control film poster from?

& Clive , stop na na na -ing, i thouiht it fairly easy to follow who was who

arfur fuscake wrote "a fit before the end is surely speculation.

ian had left all his medication at his mams,, given the amount of whisky he knocked back and the fact the docs had told him to lay of the drink ,,who knows?.

who can tell right now

It's just a bit more speculation to keep the myth machine rolling and to give everyone something to ponder over on here and at JDC now there is nothing new ordery.

oldmonkey wrote: It's just a bit more speculation to keep the myth machine rolling and to give everyone something to ponder over on here and at JDC now there is nothing new ordery.

I dunno about 'speculation': I thought this was just a rather clunky way of hammering home to the less attentive viewer the fact that Ian had various 'problems' so we knew why he topped himself. One of the few weak points in the film, IMHO.

After all, doesn't Debbie's book say that there was only an inch of whisky in the bottle and that he spent the night alone (ie - they didn't have one last blazing row just before the washing line started to seem like a useful way to accessorize, 70s style??)

Saw it at bury last night.thought it was great.also a well done to sam riley and samantha morton.did anyyone else get a free poster?

Hey, don't knock Fenland, at least it's in on in Cambridge! Might try and get down there tonight...

went to the 9:15pm showing last night in Stevenage and I counted a total of 12 people.

I normally full asleep at the cinema,lose concentation or keep checking my watch but can safetly say that I sat through the 2 hours transfixed.It was a very moving film and I thought the acting was first rate.

Not sure about the uplifting ending that some people have gone on about.

Me and my two mates left the cinema without saying a word

I saw it at the UGC in Glasgow last night. Cinema was pretty full, bumped into a bunch of folk I know and managed to succesfully avoid someone whose annoying laugh I recognised during the film (haven't seen him in years!).

Thought the film was boring. As did the other folk I met.

Out of all the cinemas in my area - Rugby , Coventry , Nuneaton , Leamington , Stratford Upon Avon , Northampton and Birmingham there is only one (1) cinema showing the film.That includes 3 cinemas in Coventry and 12 in Birmingham!!! The only cinema showing it is the Cineworld in Broad Street , Birmingham.

Sounds like a better idea!

There were quite a few people in the cinema when i went to see it.But i think that's down to the fact that the Cineworld in Broad Street , Birmingham is the only place in the WHOLE of the Midlands that is showing it.

I disagree that it's right to have the film in black and white.To be really authentic it should have been in that colour yet murky , dark and blurred style like much of the footage in the Here Are The Young Men video compilation.I'm half serious there.It is beautifully shot though , yes, and the scenes when the band are Joy Division are superb.Was a bit dissapointed with the (intended) swap of Shadowplay to Transmission on Granada

'Tony Wilson' was nothing like the real Tony.Slightly like Alan Partridge's Wilson in 24HRPP in a couple of lines if anything, as has been previously mentioned.

The actress that plays is Annik is stunningly beautiful.Good god.

To be honest ,on first watch, the playing of Atmosphere after Ian is found dead came across as a celebration that he'd died ffs!! I know it's a song we all associate with him dying but it just struck me at that point in the film as not quite right for some reason.

What i found sadder are scenes like when Debbie makes Ian a drink and then he refuses to open the door to her , doesn't even acknowledge her.And his "what are you doing here?" on a couple of occasions- when she turns up in the dressing room after a gig and when he finds her in his writing room.

There were about 15 people in Cambridge last night for the film... And a fair few of them had trench coats on Agree that it was beautifully shot, but I wasn't enthralled as I had expected to be, the band live were better than I expected and it wasn't as hugely depressed as I had feared, but there was definitely something missing... Although given the amount of input from people who knew and loved Ian, maybe that says more about our expectations as fans than anything else... The cover over the end credits was shite though...

Agreed Snorri...

I watched Control in a packed cinema in Brighton last night. People were sitting on the floor!!!

Beautifully shot. But I thought it was lacking something... I felt that there was no "chemistry" at all between the guy that played Curtis and either of his love interests. Thought there were no significant relationships at all actually...

All style over substance for me, I'm afraid. A real missed opportunity...

RichShan wrote:

Yeah , maybe it is a bit.I'll probably enjoy it more on second viewing though i think.Like when i saw 24 Hour Party People for the first time i was too critical.

I do need to go and see it again, if only to see the bit I missed when I went for a piss (where Annik was interviewing the band and getting quite cosy with Ian). I know it's supposed to be a film, and films aren't supposed to deal too closely with the truth (or so it seems!) but there are a hell of a lot of bits that seemed unsatisfactory to me. Maybe I'm being ubercritical but I was expecting more.

old monkey wrote, i need to see it again.

me to , daughter order needs to "understand" why i like joy division,,, 15 year olds eh!

seeing me this time , hoping for something else(sic)

I was thinking that I was being a too critical as well... There were a few things I just can't leave alone- The voice over at the start really made me cringe and I thought the voice over just before the suicide seemed to give the impression that Ian left a song instead of note in explanation...

Probably need to give it a bit of time and turn off the "uber-critic" inside. Seems there's one lurking in a few of us

It's actually playing at Peterborough at 8.45 and 11.30 tonight and tomorrow night. I've just got home from Peterborough at about 5 and I'm buggered if I'm going back tonight.

Looks like tomorrow so long as I don't smell of fish

Kevin Smith wrote: It's actually playing at Peterborough at 8.45 and 11.30 tonight and tomorrow night.

Don't understand why they never showed it last week on release. Working tomorrow night but may venture through for the Sunday 20.45 showing. D'ya fancy it Shug?

When I wrote it was on tonight (on friday) and tomorrow night (now tonight, Saturday) at 2045 & 2330, that is the entire run of the movie @ Pboro.

Someone on another board who lives in Pboro is equally pissed off as he already had plans for the weekend so couldn't make it.

Would've been good to meet with you guys.

I agree that the replacement of Shadowplay with Transmission was strange, particularly as they had gone to such an effort to set it up "accurately" with Tony's intro and even Ian's stance before they started playing. I thought the cast did a good job with the songs though. The transition from chorus to last verse in Transmission that always sets my spine tingling did so in the film too.

Also a bit annoying was playing Leaders of Men instead of At a Later Date for the Short Circuit recording.

There was plenty of speculation for the suicide scene but I felt it was still more accurate - and sensistive - than the equivalent in 24HPP.

Overall a good film and more sympathetic than Touching From a Distance and also parts of Torn Apart. Personally I would have liked to see more of Young Ian and more of the Warsaw times to get a feel for the JD sound developing.

That's about the long and short of it. A few inaccuracies and alterations for artistic licence. Would've preferred Shadowplay over Transmission (could've done that as a live track) with the set up in the TV studio.

Bit of jump in the music from Unknown Pleasures to much later songs. I thought that Stroszek was watched after the row as it was on late at night. Just a few niggly things.

Went a bit flat in the middle for me but cam back strongly at the end.

Thats right - they sacrificed a sheep in their dressingroom, & then had a hit called BlueMonday . . . . afaik!

I don't know, the film doesn't seem to get to the heart of Ian's depression and problems somehow for me , doesn't go deep enough into them.I don't think it goes into his relationship with Annik enough either.And before it can it gets to the point where he dies and Atmosphere plays.It was almost like Anton was so enthusiastic and concentrated on the that final part of the story he hadn't paid enough attention to the events that led up to it.

I think I was so underwhelmed by the film because, inlike when reading Touching From A Distance, I just didn't feel anything for Ian in the film... Maybe that's exactly the point but I expected to empathise with him and understand why he couldn't go on, as it happened it just all looked a bit selfish...

Snorri xxx

It did eventually arrive in Aberdeen. I don't think it went into enough detail about Ian either. I still don't see quite where the depth of the lyrics came from, judging by this film. There was 11 of us there, and most of my mates never really knew the whole story, so every time he was on his own in the last hour, they kept going "is he gonna do it now?

Great acting though , and well made.

:)

Col there might be a half breakfast showing next week.

m8 from stockport went to see it last night ,said it was fucking brilliant which for a non jd. devotee and life long clash fan was pretty bob on.

worked hard for you.

haven't time to go to the Tyneside Cinema.....so the next time it is playing near to me is, the ARC stockton (the next street along from me).....on the 4th December!

Dammit!

Doubt the film will ever be shown in Lowestoft. We were lucky to get Shrek 3 ffs.
