From the commentary track:
Anton Corbijn, “This is my voice…I am the director/producer of ‘Control’…this opening scene…of Ian Curtis…was a thought we had in the editing process…to have something of the end at the beginning…to see where he ends up and set the tone.

The titles…reflect the epilepsy attacks…it’s a very beautiful way to bring that into the title.”

    Since we are talking about titling... I would say that this obb, is not a glamour one..

    But having a standard is not a good idea. This generation of new born artists are part of postmodernism which suggests that there should be no standard for art, for it is broad.

    W H E R E A R E T H E T I T L E S ?

    I Sincerely think this is an ofense.
    Put this down.
    What a shame to art.
    Amarrador, haz algo con tu trabajo, apacionate, no seas tan vagao balvaraso!
    VAGO!
  • I agree with Richard and Diaghe. There needs to be a standard. Maybe, to VMAN's point, if the rest was posted, we'd get a better idea of the title sequence.

    A friend of mine and I were going to have a discussion at our agency about titles similar to this one. The category was called "introductory titles" where there is an emotional introduction to the plot or characters of the film, followed by the title(s). We felt that this was well implemented in the film Snatch, where it jumps right to the point (Turkish talking about diamonds), then the security camera sequence, and as if that weren't enough, it's followed by the fast paced character intro revolving around the diamond. Anyone's thoughts?

    I think its quite beautiful
  • Im torn on this one. This is called art of the title but there is no titling per-say, however i've always been hooked into scenes that open up like this.. Meaning some dramatic open that leads into an explosive title sequence.. so where's the rest of this?
  • Richard
    That's not the point. If that was the case then every film in history would be on here. If we don't argue for a standard then we should just call the site "Titles."
  • Even a bad reference is a reference. It's not flashy but it does what it needs to.
  • I agree, this is awful
  • Richard
    Really? This should be taken down. This offers nothing.
