Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
2004
****
Director: Joe Berlinger, Bruce Sinofsky
Cast:
A promotional making-of film about the new Metallica album ended up as a long but very enjoyable documentary about a rock band in turmoil. Egos clash, old wounds are reopened and the recording session turns into group therapy. The band may not delve that deep into their emotions but they show honesty and guts in allowing the cameras to record it all, although it makes them look like Spinal Tap at times.
