Rising from the ashes of the legendary British post-punk unit Joy Division, the enigmatic New Order triumphed over tragedy to emerge as one of the most influential and acclaimed bands of the 1980's, embracing the electronic textures and disco rhythms of the underground club culture many years in advance of its contempraries. "New Order Story" is the definitive documentary on the band and traces their history all the way back to its origin with Joy Division. This extended version includes additional interviews and live footage, over 2 hours of great New Order footage. A longform video chronicling the band's history and music with interviews by Bono, Neil Tennant, Quincy Jones and others.

Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
DoktorSammySlick "New Order Story" is one of the best music documentaries I've ever seen. >From the tragic fall of Ian Curtis and Joy Division, to the peak of success as one of the worlds leading "pop" bands. The documentary is filled with familiar faces, including New Order members themselves, speaking about their career and what not. I felt that this film really conveyed a good insight into what the people in New Order are like, seeing as they are a somewhat "quiet" band when it comes to the media. Also, "New Order Story" is an amazing collection of music videos and is perfect for anyone that likes such things. I understand that there are more than one version available, at least one of which is shorter and far less cool. So do your homework before buying this one.
Pierre_D New Order have been both one of the most exhilarating of pop groups at at the same time one of the most laconic and infuriating. For the most part a group of 4 hermits who have been hostile to the media at large, unwilling to express themselves past their obscure and beautiful album covers.Thus, it was a pleasure to find this on the shelf of my local music store, and moreso to hear them express themselves in a casual and sometimes insightful manner. Tony Wilson, the svengali with an edge, also appears and offers insight into Factory Records. Alan Erasmus did not appear but spoke as well.Sprinkle this with some nice videos and some concert footage, and this a fun, distracting ride into one of pop's more memorable bands.
seamuss .... and they should also say "never watch documentaries about them." While this is informative, and insightful, and the promos in the video release are great, to be honest I preferred the aloof, inscrutable NO. And I HATED the moment when Bono (BONO!) suddenly interrupts love will tear us apart to deliver his own monstrous rendition. Worth a look, but its always a little sad to lose something of mystique.
Spotnick Beware, this movie is actually sold in 2 different ways, one for the USA, and one for the rest of the world. The USA version is only half of the time.On the Canadian version, you will also find the music videos for the following songs:Transmission, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Ceremony, Temptation, Blue Monday, Touched by the Hand of God, Bizarre Love Triangle, Confusion, Shellshock, State of the Nation, Perfect Kiss, True Faith, Round & Round, World In Motion, Fine Time, Regret, Temptation (Live), Everyone Everywhere (Live), Ruined In A Day, World and AtmosphereOverall, it's a good way to learn about New Order.
