Control detail

I finally saw the brilliant "Control" and I wonder if anyone noticed the names on the bookshelf in Ian's room(near the beginning of movie, as he comes home with Bowie record). They only scanned across the bookshelf and I saw a book by William Burroughs, not sure about title, probably "Interzone". Anyone out there gotten a bit torrent or FTP of the movie that could list the books?? or do i have to wait for the dvd?

thanks, lar

You'll either have to go and watch it again in the cinema, or wait for the dvd...

I'm sure there was one JG Ballard - can't remember whether it was Colony, Atrocity Exhibition or High Rise - the latter being the source/inspiration for the line "On the 10th floor down the backstairs, into no-mans land".

It was Ballard's 'Crash'.

shouldn't be too hard to guess the others, based on what we know he was reading.

you guys do realize this is a movie, and not the actual video of Ian's room?

some dood working for the film company was paid to put books into the Ian Curtis house scenes.... so he looked into it and grabbed a few hipster books that Ian was rumored to have read... (I mean, unless we have the sales receipts and believe him in his interviews, there is no way to know what really was on his book shelf... )

who cares what books some guy popped into the background of the film? it is fiction.

the look-in 1979 annual surely, that had to be there right?

or how about "how to become a cult icon" by James Dean

no shit, sherlock. hope you douche with bleach next time.

I think the poster recognises that it was a film and not Ian's room!

If we confine everything on this site to "fact" it would limit things wouldn't it? No opinions on best track, favourite line, or 99% of the comment.

Remove the Forum and have done with fiction!!
