Looks like generating great buzz didn't translate into any award love for the Joy Division biopic Control at the 60th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Nothing for director Anton Corbijn or breakout star Sam Riley, who plays Ian Curtis. Not that there wasn't some tangential music-world connections amongst the award winners. Helmer of the "it's a Kurt Cobain biopic but it's not" flick Last Days, Gus Van Sant, won a special prize for his latest, the skateboarding-centered Paranoia Park. And Julian Schnabel, who had David Bowie playing Andy Warhol in Basquiat, won Best Director for his French-language film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
