Today's the day that Winnie The Pooh would call 'Winds-day', others might call it 'hump day'. Regardless of the moniker you attach to it, it's the middle of the week and it's Wednesday, go have some fun.

Control (Film)

Toldi, 15th October, 16:00, 18:45, 20:15, 22:15

Pest, V, Arany János utca (M3), 2 min

Joy Division singer, Ian Curtis, tragically ended his life at the age of 23, just as the band was on the brink of worldwide popularity. Control is an excellent biopic depicting Curtis' trouble in coping with success, family, and love up until the time of his death. Even if you couldn't care less about Ian, Joy Division, or the whole bit, there are some truly astounding shots in this film and should be interesting enough for any fan of underground music or a good (and true) storyline. Trailer here.

Side Four (Concert), Trafó, 15th October, 20:00, 4000ft

Go have a free (probably) glass of wine and check and some Central European photographers. Don't forget your turtleneck sweater and to raise your pinkie!
