Heavy Trip (2018)
6/10
Fun in a Weird Way
25 December 2018
Death heavy metal is actually big in Finland. Supposedly "based on mythology, occultism, Satanism or crappy fantasy literature". So, small town band of four having gone nowhere for a dozen years other than the basement of one of their parents decide to give it a bigger stage in a Norway festival. What follows is a lot of humor & slapstick (I guess) such as naming themselves w/disgusting body functions as strong possibilities (e.g. Impaled Rektum); grinding up a dead reindeer carcass for it's blood which is inspiration for a song. The acting & music were so good I couldn't tell if they were just actors or actual playing musicians. Puzzled by one scene - paying for a bouquet of three flowers cost 20 Euros ($22) - really?
