Music Moves at the Multiplex

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Joy Division was one of the gloomiest rock bands to emerge from England in the late '70s. The troubled life of the band's front-man, Ian Curtis, is now the subject of the rock biopic "Control." We talk to the film's director, Anton Corbijn. Also: Composer AR Rahman is a star in his native India, having sold more than 100 million albums, and composed the soundtracks to dozens of Bollywood films. Now American audiences are about to get more familiar with his music, which is featured in Cate Blanchett's film "Elizabeth: The Golden Age," which opens this Friday. Finally, Soundcheck's CD Picks of the week.
