Why is this film called Joy Division as i understand it "Joy Division" were group's of women kept as sex slaves by Nazi's in Consentration camps as mentioned in the book "The House of dolls" and its definitly not about the band if anyone has seen it could you help me out :-?
shareAccording to the website www.shadowsonthewall.co.uk
"The title refers to the Nazi youth activities organisation"
Believe that it relates to the "strength through joy" movement as in the film the characters watch one of these nazi propaganda movies in a cinema, and afterwards the main charcter makes reference to it in the voice-over narration.
shareDidn't get that bit - remember the cinema scene.
Did expect it to be about Joy-Division 'House of Dolls'. then when watching thought it was either meant to be a Russian army version Joy-Division, or one of these 'film maker' ironys, cos the films not very joy-ful!
This really is a great indie-movie. if you liked it then should definately see
