Well, it's black and white...that's about it. You wanna see exceptional photography you see a Terrence Malick or an Andrei Zvyagintsev film. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good film, Sam Riley is the spitting image of Ian Curtis, and he did an amazing job on the live performances...(although the best actor in this for me was Toby Kebbell as the manager, probably the most talented new actor in Britain right now). I suppose it's hard for me to be really engaged or moved by a film if I already know the story...

In that, knowing what's going on and why makes the film more accessible. |

Well I'm not a fan of Johnny Cash either but I thought Walk the line was a better film...or perhaps his life story is just more interesting...:|
