Sorry if it has been posted before. 20 minutes. Easy viewing. I've watched it more than once.

Ive seen this before, pretty informative/up close and personal, the whole thing is a bit ominous, the part where he just stands there filming at the exact spot where mark shot himself. Think it's strange that he supposedly got sent over the edge by a text? I guess not too surprising being that he had a track record of having ideations

Not a documentary but "Control" about the life of Ian Curtiss from Joy Division was a good film.

I suppose if his mind was already in a dark place, then it may not have taken much, but I am curious to what that text said...

"Control" is a really good film... Ian Curtis had a lot of talent, but sometimes that isn't enough.
