Movie review: „Full Metal Village“ (Clash of Cultures)

Subsim's Heavy Metal enthusiasts, watch out for this movie!
It is difficult to tell, who the freaks are, the farming people or the metal fans?

Trailer :

Review: “The 2007 documentary Full Metal Village examines the lives of the residents of a small German village in the Schleswig-Holstein region, Wacken, in a series of interviews and visual tableaux as it prepares for the annual Wacken Open Air Festival. In the style of a traditional German heimat film, the director Sung Hyung Cho explores the relationship of the 1,800 resident townsfolk and the brief annual influx of 40,000 metal enthusiasts who attend the open-air concert. The slow, cynically irreverent tone of the film lends an air of the absurd to both sides of the proceedings including elderly villagers who confess to have 'heard' that the concert-goers worship Satan, and over-enthusiastic concert-goers headbanging to the traditional regional anthem played by a local uniformed band to open the festival”

In 2008 Wacken Heavy Metal Fest drew 75,000.

Ah, was supposed to be going to Wacken this year. Ah well. Next year in Jerusalem, I guess.

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

Glastonbury isn't all that bad though.
