I agree with this. The way I see it is that this is an art film about a genre of music - it's something that interested parties should know about. But the film shouldn't act as a primer for somebody that wants to listen to BM. It's something that should be discovered and individually interpreted. It shouldn't be exclusive, but it isn't some country club either. The thing is the originators were on to something with the sound. Now anybody can steal the methods and use them for anything. As homo as this sounds we all remember what flipped the black metal switch in our heads - my grandfather used to say "it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" and well now if bm doesn't have the mystic, anti-religious, pure individualistic sentiment then we can damn well tell the difference. Black Metal Is Devil Worship, and there will always be people who don't fully understand this, which is why I'm not jumping at showing the film to family and coworkers and so on. At least this is a film that doesn't foster the superficial motivations for listening to black metal. They barely used any black metal for the soundtrack, because it's not forcing the music down anyone's throat. It's not there to suck metalhead cock. Also, they avoid any scholarly interpretation ("black metal is so euro romantic!") and just let the musicians, the environment, and the events talk.
