AAVV - "Butchering The Beatles: A Headbashing Tribute" (2006, Restless)

From now on these virtual pages, read reviews, movie-themed rock / metal! Happy, right? The film we will examine is the first "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey", a documentary film by the very talented filmmaker Sam Dunn that will take us step by step to discover the roots of fashion, style life and, of course, in our kinds of music: heavy metal!

Dunn has a degree in anthropology, which will make the documentary even more interesting, presenting the various arguments from different points of view very intelligent. After the success of his first opera, also directed "Global Metal", a kind of sequel that deals with the interesting relationship between the metal and the peoples of the world, and the DVD of Iron Maiden's "Flight 666".

After having discussed the historical roots of metal and rock (even starting from Wagner!), Will examine the various genres and sub-genres with a lot of very interesting concept map, from classical to rock to get to the most modern solutions, with an eye to the controversial Norwegian black scene. There's even a chapter on the groupie! Many musicians are interviewed: the staid Tony Iommi, Ronnie James Dio the amiable, the most likeable Bruce Dickinson, the absurd Gaahl, Slipknot, Dee Schnider and missed his story (Metal against PMRC in the chapter on censorship!) the tragicomic Mayhem, Cannibal Corpse the simpletons, the charming Doro Pesch, Slayer, the great Alice Cooper, Lemmy evergreen, the Girlschool ... a lot of really good (and bad) people of the trade!

Another very important thing: Dunn is not one of those pundits who believe they have the truth in hand, but travels around the world collecting testimonies of artists and fans (who have a chapter), avoiding to offer an analysis already "digested" to get you to your own conclusions (a memorable phrase that closes the film, surrounded by a mob at the Wacken Open Air festival in the background with the Bridge Master of Puppets "If the metal does not give you the hit of overflowing energy and does not make you hair stand on end in the neck, could never do . And you know what it 's okay, because judging by the 40,000 metalheads around me, we're just fine without you. "). Moreover, the direction is excellent, offering a streamlined travel, fun, exciting to be followed and sometimes even evocative: there are some glimpses of Denmark to take your breath away.

Only problem: "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" never arrived in Italy, so it is in English.

Somewhere around the network, you should be able to find subtitles in Italian: find them, you can not miss this show!
