What's this?
Joy Division film?

Hi D,

This was first shown last year in Toronto and is already available as a DVD in Norway! We (the UK) are probably the last people to see it!

It was written by Jon Savage; author of ‘England’s Dreaming’ and original designer of some of JDs tour posters, and involves the remaining original band members, Kevin Cummins, Peter Saville, Deborah Curtis, Paul Morley etc.

Said to be the 'definitive' Joy Division documentary...although I reckon there's at least 25,000,000 definitive Joy Division documentaries by now!

actually ever so slightly OT I was just in UK and I was quite surprised how a number of films which have been around here on't continent for a while now are just coming out in UK .. e.g. Persopolis, Irina Palm and I think Cassandra's Dream ..
(Irina Palm already available on DVD - available on DVD over 'ere)
..prompts thread on UK film industry, "movies" in general...

And none to be found here :rolleyes:

just make sure to hear Komakino....

Well, I just went out and got 'The Best Of' mentioned at the top of this thread. I know it is another Best Of but I wanted the John Peel Sessions on cd 2.

They also had this 2cd set in a 1 cd 'Best Of' which was alot cheaper but it did not have all the extras.

In case anyone is interested, the recent (2007) vinyl remasters of Unknown Pleasures and Closer are being sold by Fopp for £5 each!

I won't be buying anything I've got my memories

tour in Britain which Joy Division played support to.
Like several other nights Joy Division completely blew
