Anton Corbin who directed the film was one of the first people to photograph Joy Division and as this is Corbin's first film the use of monochrome was implicit and a full turn of the circle. Curtis was reportedly an ******* to Deborah and that's why the film sounds so intriguing. He was a flawed person who happened to make music that is still talked about nearly 30 years later. Life as a musician is not as rose tinted as we would like to believe. He was just a kid and had many faults. His mistakes are no different to many many relationships out there. I think Curtis's appeal was that an ordinary guy can sometimes achieve greatness through mere banality.
