Not surprisingly, the film that caused rifts between the members of New Order, fights with the director, and was based on the somewhat dubious "Touching From a Distance" by Debra Curtis "bends the truth" and is "inaccurate."

 

Steven Morris spoke with the NME about the film, which recently showed at the Cannes Film Festival, saying:

None of it's true really. It's sort of true, but you have to take liberties when you're making a film because the truth is too boring. We've seen it a couple of times. It's good, very good. It's a bit hard to watch when you're involved in it as much as Peter [Hook] and I have been though, but Anton's done a really good job, it's not as funny as 24 Hour Party People though!
Peter Hook, who was most known for his clashes with director Anton Corbjin, said he enjoyed the film, but added:
But it was, as I said, like having your heart stamped on. The weirdest thing was at the end, when it really hurt and everybody started clapping. It would've been nice to have a dignified silence.

I kind of expect quiet tears, after I see it... but to each their own.

 

Rest in Peace, Ian.

 

The movie is expected to have a September release.
