Anton Corbijn is one of my favorite directors, his most famous film to date is "Control" The film that depicts the life of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis. The film Control is filmed all in black and white which gives the deep and dark feeling as well as being shot in Manchester, the film paints a picture of Manchester in the 1980's, using amazing landscape shots the streets look amazingly beautiful in an ironic way. I am fascinated the way Corbijn can make a bleak street look deep and meaningful, I think that each shot in Control could be used as a photography picture, i think this is helped by the fact that Corbijn has been a professional photographer for over 20 years.
The films style is something i would like to emulate, showing my story with beautiful looking shots that show the surroundings and the characters with a nice blend.
