Anton Corbijn directed it, who was a good choice because he had been a photographer for the actual band. The movie was partially shot on location around Nottingham, Macclesfield and Manchester. This included areas where Ian Curtis had actually lived. Although it was shot in color, the film was printed out in black and white. The movie starts with Curtis marrying his wife in when they are both just 19 and 18, respectively, in their hometown of Macclesfield.
