Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
Three years in the making, this acclaimed documentary from filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky ("Brother's Keeper") provides a fascinating, in-depth portrait of the most successful heavy metal band of all time, as they faced monumental personal and professional challenges while recording their first studio album of original songs in five years. With unprecedented access, this often funny and totally candid film seeks to transcend the conventions of the "rock 'n' roll movie" genre, trading rock-star posing for truthful introspection, and revealing an intimate portrait of the individuals behind a legendary band and their unique creative journey.
