How this film got made was very interesting as they were asked by Metallica's management about filming a typical making-of album documentary for the label and such. Instead, they arrived to the studio realizing that the band was falling apart and they went ahead and filmed a band disintegrating.<br /><br />I saw this film at the 2004 Atlanta Film Festival where I worked as a volunteer and it was a sell-out screening. Metallica fans enjoyed the hell out of it while they did boo Bob Rock over comments he made about Jason Newstead possibly returning to the band. It has some funny moments but it's a very captivating doc on a band that was just about to fall apart completely.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-980499643003221462014-05-31T11:38:56.652-07:002014-05-31T11:38:56.652-07:00I noticed this film was on Netflix but held off vi...I noticed this film was on Netflix but held off viewing it as my experience with Metallica's music is limited at best. However, your review makes interested in giving it a watch. Plus I did not realize Joe Berlinger was involved with this. I recently saw his latest film at Hot Docs (still need to watch the Paradise Lost trilogy).Courtney Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00045575858464121137noreply@blogger.com
