The film expands on Deborah's Touching From A Distance book, which was a personal account of her life with Ian Curtis, to give a fuller account of the man and his life. To achieve this, writer Matt Greenhalgh interviewed all the relevant people including Annik Honore. Ian Curtis's was in a relationship with Annik at the time of his death and she has previously declined to discuss the matter with the media simply saying it was "too painful". Directed by lifelong Joy Division fan Anton Corbijn the film is in black and white  to reflect the atmosphere of Joy Division and the mood of the era. Anton is keen to point out that the film is about Ian Curtis - not Joy Division.
