The first official peek at photographer/director Anton Corbijn's biopic of late Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, Control, has hit the net. The film, shot entirely in black and white, took home the prize for Best European Film at the Cannes Film Festival, where it premiered last week.

Corbijn put much of his own money into the measly six million dollar budget to ensure the completion of the daring film. But despite the picture being in the unpopular black and white format with miniscule funding and an unknown lead actor (Sam Riley), judges at Cannes were dishing nothing but glowing praise.

The film will feature a score by New Order (R.I.P.) as well as music by David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, the Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop.

Check out the trailer below.We like that it has the same look and feel of Corbijn's famous photographs of the group.
