So this is permanence; love-shattered pride. What once was innocence, has turned on its side.









Control (2007). Story of Ian Curtis, front man of Joy Division. Not only is the cinematography beautiful in this movie, but Sam Riley, who played Curtis, looked eerily like the man he was playing - complete with the erratic dance moves of the singer. If you are a fan of Joy Division like I am, you will love this film.

To prove how inspiring the movie is, I took these still shots.. And now crave for a jacket with the word "HATE" written on the back of it. Yes, I'm totally feeling emo these days.

If Sam Riley looks familiar to you, it is probably because he (along with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) was the face of Burberry F/W 08-09.

Oh my god guys, If you have not seen it, you must, asap. Every shot is beautiful as you can tell by the stills. Its quite nostalgic, and if you hate depressing movies, maybe you should skip this one.. but it really got under my skin.

And Sam Riley is so convincing.. shame the Academy people were not watching, he is brilliant!

Hey beauty!

If the still shots can tell this much of the story... I've gotta see the film. There's definitely something about the artsy tone that draws me in. xxx
