One of the greatest music biopics ever made. Sam Riley delivers a mesmerizing performance as Ian Curtis in Anton Corbijn's now-classic portrait of one of modern music's most beloved and most tragic figures.

Synopsis

The film traces the life of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, from his school years in 1973 to his suicide on the eve of the band's first American tour in 1980. Against the backdrop of Joy Division's meteoric rise, it explores his marriage, his inner turmoil and the psychological burden that ultimately proved impossible to bear.
