I think I will go and see this film when it comes out..
A British film about the life and death of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, starring a first-time actor, has earned a rapturous reception in Cannes.
Control stars Sam Riley as Curtis and Samantha Morton as his wife Deborah, who has apparently been working on the film since 1994.
There is a Wikipedia page on the film with more details.
Although the film is not in competition, it did receive a standing ovation at Cannes. Here’s a really good report / video
