Diretto dal celebre fotografo delle rockstar Anton Corbijn, Control racconta la vita di Ian Curtis, leader e cantante del celebre gruppo inglese dei Joy Division, morto suicida a soli 24 anni non ancora compiuti. Il film racconta la vita e la musica di Curtis e della sua band, concentrandosi sul suo carattere ombroso, sulla sua turbolenta vita matrimoniale, sui problemi con la depressione e l'epilessia. Basato sul libro “Touching From a Distance” scritto dalla moglie di Ian, Deborah, e musicato tra gli altri dai New Order, la band nata dalle ceneri dei Joy Division.
