This really is an absolutely horrible film. Not just because of the poor acting, the thin script and the not very subtle left wing angle on society. When I look at the other comments here I realise than I'm not the only one haunted by violent images of poor Kim Skov getting beaten up and humiliated by bullies in leather jackets. We really ought to form some sort of an organisation and file a lawsuit against the danish school system. I haven't watched this film since the 6'th grade, but still the images will let let go. This is what the danish school system has done to my life. Even here in 2006 i still expect that long grease haired bullies will drop by my workplace and give me a good bullying, or force me to steal my fathers cigarettes for them. I guess I could just buy the cigarettes though, but thats beside the point. "The story of Kim Skov" has defined my fears.

Just saw the movie on TV last night and it really gives an close look at the danish rock n roll buisiness. As a musician you really feel with this band and their tough struggle to get through to the safe betting record executives and their narrow minded ideas of what a good record should sound like.Of course its always easy to bark at the record industry but I really think this movie goes to show that logic and conventionel thinking isn't a very useful when it comes into handeling what music really is - Art! The movie is more than just a documentary about a band without a record deal,it's a universal statement about keeping on going when you know that you got something to offer.And surely swan Lee has a lot!
Great movie 8/10.

Lasse saves the day!

It's a documentary about death metal bands in denmark! What's funny about that? Actually it is very funny indeed, and especially the parts with guitar player of Illdisposed Lasse Bak are worth the while. This guy is absolutely hilarious, and the best parts of this movie, are the ones where we get a look at his life. Lasse is certainly a man with a few stories up his sleeve. Stories about touring, drinking, being a deathmetal kliché AND working at a daycare center at the same time (!!). Not your typical metalhead really, Lasse just doesn't seem to care about acting "cool" og being "evil". That only makes him all the more metal, at least in my opinion.
3 bands are featured in this documentary, Illdisposed, Infernal Torment and a third band, of which i can't really recall the name, Illdisposed BY FAR being the most interesting - musically as well as - personalities.
