...says. “It is not true. When it comes to living our lives, we are not open at all. There is contradiction and division.” Pollitt believes that modern pop culture contributes to this reticence. “We are living in a visual culture, a commercialized, sexual culture,” she says. “We are living at a time where people feel like they have to put their best face forward.” One part of that culture—the push for physical perfection through artificial means such as tanning...

...film's first public showing at Cannes in May, Control won three awards and critical raves. Morton, who has previously acted for directors like Steven Spielberg and Woody Allen, was similarly dazzled by Corbijn's debut. "His instincts were not just from a visual point of view; I found his development of the character really fascinating," she says. "For someone who's never made a film before to make a film that brilliant, to get the performances he got out of us, and to carry it, I just think he's extraordinary." For good measure, he pulled this off while...
