Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Grant Gee also made Radiohead's 'Meeting People Is Easy,' making him the unofficial documentarian of miserablist British rock.
The film coincided with Anton Corbijn's 'Control' biopic — 2007 was peak Joy Division industrial complex, and this doc exists partly to correct the fictionalized record.
