Résumé

Livre en anglais et allemand

Control: The Ian Curtis Film biopic is Anton Corbijn's most recent project and, in some way, the culmination of the multi-talented artist's work: Corbijn is directing a film about Ian Curtis (1956-1980), lead singer of the legendary post-punk rock band Joy Division, and publishing a book about the making of the film. The film details the troubled life of Ian Curtis, vocalist, lyricist and guitarist of the band Joy Division. His songs filled with emotional pain, violence, and alienation, his eerie baritone voice, and his unique dancing style reminiscent of the epileptic seizures he experienced made him a hero of the post-punk era; his suicide at the age of 23 on the eve of Joy Division's first US tour confirmed the myth of the rock star dying young.

The book is a visual diary, with hand-written notations, drawings, and a wealth of photographs. It details the creative process from pre-production through filming to post-production and first screenings.

L'auteur - Anton Corbijn

Ever since 1982, in other words for over 22 years now, Dutch star photographer Anton Corbijn has been one of the creative minds accompanying the inexorable rise of Irish rock group U2 to the status of the world's greatest rock band. It has been an ultra,-special symbiotic relationship that in terms of continuity and loyalty flies in the face of today's trend to prioritize short-lived links. Moreover, it is quite unique in the music world, because hardly any other photographer has remained true to a band over such a lengthy period of lime - and vice versa.

Anton Corbijn more or Yens "invented" U2's image as a band, and even today he continues to play a strong part in defining it. Behind the scenes, with camera in band; he has followed the band's constantly growing fame and success, preserving for posterity the key moments in their career in the form of his characteristically Corbijn photographs.

Now Anton Corbijn is dedicating a major photo-book to his collaboration with the band, choosing for it the telling title U2&i. It is a superb book and will no doubt drive any sincere U2 fan into paroxysms of joy.
