The movie I mean. It's all about the Joy Division.

A good watch but I don't understand the point nehind it all being in black and white.

I guess it makes it more gritty*, and I guess suicide isn't a colourful subject!

I thought that his epilepsy might be a reason behind it.

I suppose the black and white thing was all part of Joy Division's image(what little image they had)i.e the cover from 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and such like. I can see why they would film it all in black and white. It just fits in with their style of music. And also, B+W was very fashionable when JD were at their peak....

Jacob's Ladder was a great film. Was it Tim Robbins in that?

It was actually all filmed in colour, they just spent most of their budget on make up, clothes and sets.
