The film details the life of the troubled young musician, who forged a new kind of music out of the punk rock scene of 1970s Britain, and the band Joy Division, which he headed from 1977 to 1980. It also deals with his rocky marriage and extramarital affair, as well as his increasingly frequent seizures, which were thought to contribute to the circumstances that led to his suicide on the eve of Joy Division's first U.S. tour.

Plot

The films starts in 1974 where 17 year old Ian Curtis is living in a tower block of flats in Macclesfield with his parents and his sister while he is at 6th form and working part time in a record store. It is here where he meets Debbie Woodruff who is dating his best friend Kevin. Here Debbie finds out that Ian is into poetry and writes poems. After school one day Ian and Kevin visit an elderly neighbour, where they obtain and take some prescribed drugs. Both high, they visit Debbie, where Ian recites poetry and they realize they are fond of each other. Together, they then attend a David Bowie concert. While going for a walk in the fields Ian proposes and Debbie accepts. They are married and move to a house on Barton Street, Macclesfield. Married life does not appear to go well: Ian locks himself in a room writing poetry, Debbie decorates the house (this trend continues throughout the film, especially when Debbie is going to bed and asks Ian to join her).

David Bowie (IPA: []) (born David Robert Jones on 1947 January 8) is an English singer, songwriter, actor, multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger and audio engineer. ...

The film then follows Ian and Debbie attending a Sex Pistols gig in 1976 where he meets Stiff Kittens band members Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, and Terry Mason. All 3 members criticize their lead singer which leads Ian to approach the band at the end of the concert to suggest he become vocalist. This then leads the band to become Warsaw, recruiting Stephen Morris as drummer with Mason taking over managerial duties. With great nervousness leading up to it, the band eventually plays their first gig. The Sex Pistols were an iconic and highly influential English punk rock band, formed in London in 1975. ...

At this time Ian is working as a civil servant in Macclesfield and is given the opportunity to record a demo of the band to perform. This results in Ian and Debbie paying £400 to have the demo recorded but now under the new name Joy Division. The demo EP, "An Ideal for Living," was recorded and sent to local music mogul Tony Wilson. The band watch Tony give a less-than-impressive mention of the EP on his television show, leaving them angry and upset. Joy Division then attend a battle of the bands event at a bar where they impress everyone including Wilson and DJ Rob Gretton, who offers his services to manage the band and thinks he can do a great job as he knows all the big music names in this area.

Tony Wilson then agrees to let the band perform on their TV show. The band perform "Transmission" with Ian's parents, sister, and wife watching at home. This performance then leads to Tony signing the band - signing the contract in his own blood.

The band then start to tour with Ian starting to neglect his now-pregnant wife. Ian also keeps his job as a civil servant at the Employment Exchange. As he interviews a job seeker, she has an epileptic fit; this leads him to write the lyrics for "She's Lost Control." Shortly after this, Ian suffers a similar fit while traveling from a gig. In the hospital it is revealed that he has epilepsy. Ian tried to get in contact with the girl who had an epileptic fit in his office, but the girl died by her condition. Treatment for epilepsy at this time relied on trial and error with medications; those that Ian takes leave him drowsy and moody. The doctor also recommends to Ian that he gets plenty of early nights (something which Ian ignores). Due to the medication and the late nights, Ian is becoming extremely tired at work and after a chat with his supervisor (who advises him he cannot do both at the same time) he decides to resign from his role (despite a more steady income) and follow his dreams of becoming a successful musician. During this time, Debbie gives birth to a baby girl called Natalie and is forced to take up work to make up the wages Ian has lost with his resignation.

Joy Division then travel to London for a gig where the band meets Annik Honoré, who wishes to interview the band for a Belgian music fanzine. After the rest of the band fall asleep Ian and Annik talk and Ian admits that he has been trying to leave his home town for a while and that his marriage was a mistake. The band then travel to France to do a tour where Ian and Annik start an affair. Debbie is initially unaware of the affair but becomes suspicious when Ian admits he's unsure if he loves Debbie anymore. Whilst Ian is shooting the video for Love Will Tear Us Apart Debbie searches through the house for clues as to whether Ian is having an affair. She finds Annik's telephone number and calls her. Debbie confronts Ian who vows to break up the affair, which he doesn't do. It is at this point that Rob informs the band that they will be touring America. Love Will Tear Us Apart Original single sleeve Love Will Tear Us Apart is the best known song by the band Joy Division. ...

During a gig Ian has another epileptic fit. He is carried off stage and is comforted by Annik. With the pressure of his family, his affair, the band, and his epilepsy, Ian takes an overdose and collapses in his house. Before his collapse he writes a letter to Debbie saying that he loves Annik. Ian is then rushed to hospital and released a few day later. Joy Division are then due to perform a concert at Bury's "Derby Hall" where Ian is clearly unwell and walks off stage. Rob Gretton asks then lead of the support group, Alan Hempsall of Crispy Ambulance, to cover. Hempsall agrees, but this leads to a riot on stage. After the riot Ian says to Tony that he feels everyone hates him and it's all his own fault. The band Crispy Ambulance were formed in Manchester (UK) in 1978 by Alan Hempsall (vocals), Keith Darbyshire (bass), Gary Madeley (drums) and Robert Davenport (guitar). ...

Having left the marital home Ian is forced to stay at various people's homes. Initially he stays at Rob's (with Annik in tow). Rob informs Debbie of Ian's whereabouts and Debbie tells Rob to let Ian know she wants a divorce. He then stays at Bernard's who tries hypnotherapy on Ian to see if this helps his thinking. Eventually he returns to his parents home and agrees to stay there until the American tour.

Two nights before the tour he decides to return home to talk to Debbie. He arrives home and watches Stroszek on television before Debbie arrives home. He begs Debbie to take him back and argues that his affair with Annik is an unrelated matter. Debbie brushes it off and then Ian orders her out of the house until the following day where he will be gone. Alone in the house, Ian drinks large glasses of whiskey and plays Iggy Pop's The Idiot (album) whilst writing a letter to Debbie. As he places it on the mantelpiece he has another seizure and collapses, unconscious. He regains consciousness early the following morning. He then walks into the kitchen where he sees the clothesline. He hangs himself. Stroszek is a 1977 film by German director Werner Herzog. ... James Newell Osterberg, Jr. ... The Idiot is a 1977 album by Iggy Pop, his debut as a solo artist. ...

Later that day Debbie returns home and walks into the house. She then discovers Ian's body hung in the kitchen (the actual scene of Curtis' body hanging is not shown) and runs out of the house hysterically, holding Natalie as she cries "can someone help me". As Atmosphere plays we see Rob Gretton, the remaining members of Joy Division and Stephen's girlfriend Gillian Gilbert in a pub staring silently and Tony Wilson and his wife Lindsay picking up, and consoling, Annik at a train station. Church bells ring with very black smoke rising to the air from a crematorium. The message "Ian Kevin Curtis died May 18, 1980. He was 23 years old." appears on the screen. The screen then fades to black with Atmosphere still playing. Atmosphere is a song by the band Joy Division. ...
