Remember Grant Gee’s documentary on Mancunian post-punk depressives Joy Division, creatively titled, “Joy Division“? Many speculated because it was aquired by the Weinstein Brothers it would come out on DVD with “Control.” It’s not (the JD-feature length DVD comes out June 3 via the Weinsteins’s Miriam Collection, it was originally scheduled for May 25).
According to Pitchfork, the documentary rolls out to DVD on June 10 in conjunction with Genius Entertainment via the Miriam Collection (though Amazon has a June 17 release date), but it’s also coming out concurrently on the Zune player (what’s that? On some sup-par tool Microsoft rushed out to compete with the Ipod, nevermind, it wouldn’t interest you).
The doc generally looks a lot more interesting that the Anton Corbijn “dramatized” version, which wasn’t terrible per se, just meek as a mouse and not very dramatic.
