Idiots of Chaos

 

Lords of Chaos (2018)

Directed by Jonas Akerlund this film inspired by real events stars Rory Culkin, Emory Cohen and Jack Kilmer. In the late 1980s a group seek to change the face of death metal in Norway.

I have no idea how much of this film is true, the characters themselves appear to have been people open to invention. What I did like was how this film shows that if you play at being something for long enough eventually you will attract someone who takes you seriously. This is definitely a window into a bizarre and misunderstood sub culture.
