Anton Corbijn, director of countless music videos and the film Control (Ian Curtis biography) is himself the subject of a biopic that premiered at Berlin's film festival Berlinale 2012 yesterday. Directed by Klaartje Quirijns, Anton Corbijn Inside Out examines Corbijn's life as told through interviews with friends, family, musicians he's worked with, and Corbijn himself. The film also features Corbijn's brilliant work--footage from his films, music videos, and stunning photos he's taken over the years. So far the two reviews I've read have been mostly positive: The Playlist gave it a B+; Screen Daily didn't grade the film but called it "more satisfying, well-crafted, and revealing" than Shadow Play (previous biopic on Corbijn). Screen Daily also posted this intriguing commentary:

"Though he’s clearly not participating in Quirijns’ project against his will, Corbijn seems embarrassed to be talking about himself, and unused to being directed rather then directing, and these two sources of friction generate some interesting static
"

According to IMDB, Anton Corbijn Inside Out will be released in the Netherlands on March 22nd, but no other info is available regarding a worldwide release. I suspect the film will enjoy a limited run in select theaters in North America in the future, though nothing has been announced yet. We'll keep you posted with updates, but for now watch the official trailer:
