Oct 25, 2007

Thoroughly deserved nominations, Anton Corbjin really managed to capture the whole feel of the era it was set in, the bleakness of what was happening in Ian's life, with the band and his reluctent acceptance of increasing fame, his family, and the diagnosis of epilepsy. Well worth watching, just be prepared to come out of the cinema feeling a bit on the down side!
