Am Samstag lief die Joy Division Doku von Grant Gee auf Arte. Ich habe
die zwar schon seit einiger Zeit auf DVD, habe sie mir aber nochmal

> The film assembles TV clips, newsreel, pictures of modern Manchester
> and Manchester in the late 1970s, and interviews. The interviewees
> include the three surviving members of the group, Tony Wilson, Peter
> Saville, Pete Shelley (of Buzzcocks), Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (of
> Throbbing Gristle), Alan Hempsall (of Crispy Ambulance), Paul Morley,
> Terry Mason, Richard Boon, Anton Corbijn, and Belgian journalist Annik
> Honoré, with whom Curtis was having an affair.
> Film critic Philip French: "Someone says in the film that the
> revolutionary step they made was to progress from the usual punk
> group's angry statement: 'Fuck you.' Joy Division were the first to
> say: 'We're fucked.' There is a particularly impressive sequence in
> which dark, despairing tracks of urban alienation and angst from the
> 1979 album Unknown Pleasures are accompanied by a speeded-up nocturnal
> journey around Manchester. It has the hallucinatory sci-fi feeling of
> Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville. " The person being quoted was Tony
> Wilson.
