I also loved this film although I approached it with trepidation having actually worked on Joy Division's last tour and been involved with Sue who was one of The Buzzcocks' managers.
Luckily I wasn't in it!
When the Ian Curtis bio-flick emerges I will do likewise...
However it is a brilliant film about the rise and fall of a moment in time, a zeitgeist of England in the late 70s/early 80s.
The facts about the record company are true, I can tell you and the way its portrayed is nothing less than sensational.
Coogan is great even if, as in the words of Peter Hook, bass player with JOy Division/New Order, "Manchester's biggest arsehole played Manchester's second biggest arsehole".
Ahhh nostalgia...
NO! It's brilliant.
