What others think

Peter Bradshaw The Guardian
We need a Noel Gallagher rants on a soapbox movie now.
David Jenkins Little White Lies
Corbijn, whose own high-contrast monochrome shots have decorated album covers for the likes of Depeche Mode and U2, has a feel for connecting the aural (and oral) with the visual.
