METALLICA: SOME KIND OF MONSTER

Three years in the making, this film provides a fascinating, indepth 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 extraordinary, revealing intimacy, Berlinger and Sinofsky filmed this process of discovery as the band members were forced to confront their personal demons, their relationships to one other, and the ever-changing recording industry. Through the filmmakers’ remarkable behind-the scenes perspective, the viewer is privy to the band’s reinvention of their creative process, as well their struggles to balance their personal lives with the demands of sustaining a multi-million dollar business.
