Control

October is full of movies. Today, I watched Control, a biopic about the life and death of Ian Curtis, who was the singer of a pioneering English rock band band Joy Division. Again, I have received a movie pass from the university newspaper a week before for a regular run of the film.

As always, I headed to the Tivoli Theater alone (after a failure to go to the movies with my campus Russian friend since she fell ill then). But at the Delmar Loop metro station I met Katia, who was a graduate exchange student from Russia. She appeared to be interested in watching the movie (though it was Tuesday and not a weekend day), and I was glad to say, that the pass was for two persons. After she parked her byke in her shared house not far from the place, we went to the movies shortly after the lights were turned off, and nobody even asked for our tickets.

Besides the official site, I've found one more, also claiming to be official. They both were in flash, but I like the latter for it features the music from the film that creates the mood of the film. There is also a special site for Canada. The film is made in Britain (and British English was hard for Katia to comprehend at first) in black and white. It created the atmosphere of the 70th, and the tunes from the movie played in my head long after the film was over.

And today I was not alone watching the film, finally.
