Internationally renowned artist and filmmaker Anton Corbijn has created some of his generation's seminal rock images. Photographing musicians as diverse as U2, The Killers and Nirvana among others, Corbijn has created an aesthetic which is as stark and uncompromising as it is beautiful. Shot as Corbijn directs his debut feature film - and personal labour of love, the Ian Curtis biopic CONTROL, SHADOW PLAY: THE MAKING OF ANTON CORBIJN features the insights of Bono, Chris Martin, Kurt Cobain and others, who share how the artist captures his shots, illustrating the shifting dynamics of photographers, paparazzi, and celebrity.
SHADOW PLAY is a fascinating glimpse inside the mind of a master.
