Film description
In 1976, four young men from ruined, post-industrial Manchester went to see the Sex Pistols. They formed a band, Joy Division. It was “A right laugh”.Three years later it was a matter of art, life and death. 30 years later they are enjoying a larger audience and more influence than ever before with a profound legacy that resonates fiercely in today’s heavily careerist music industry and over-mediated pop culture. Featuring the unprecedented participation of the surviving band members, this film tells their story of beauty and loss in the city.
