Joy Division is a "fascinating look at the brief but vital trajectory of a band that died with its troubled frontman, Ian Curtis" (Jason Gargano, Cincinnati CityBeat), only to be reborn as the equally influential New Order. Featuring interviews with all surviving band members, Joy Division explores the Manchester origins of this revolutionary act, their partnership with Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and collaboration with legendary producer Martin Hannet

“Hot on the heels of Control comes this powerful film that perhaps goes even deeper in exploring the reasons for Ian Curtis's suicide” – The Guardian

“On the short list of the most stirring musical documentaries out there, JOY DIVISION takes a unique look at the life behind the industry and how the power of music can sometimes drive a person to the brink of insanity — and beyond.” – The Sundance Channel
