Lords of Chaos (2018)
Better Than I expected (Black Metal Fan)
We all know the story, and now it was put on film. It made Oystein a very likable if not fake persona, the film is brutally honest about how Varg thought Euronymous was fake and only wanted attention, while in the same breath Varg went to the media seeking the attention. The casting for Varg was questionable at first but I thought Cohen brought a good perspective on the narcissism of Varg after watching it twice now. It made all of this seem very possible and realistic which was admirable on Jonas's part. Everyone was called out, no one was spared. The violence is gruesome and the most realistic I've seen in a while. It was funny, violent and had a sex scene, it's got alot of layers to it that BM fans would consider "gay" and pointless, but then again as the director says "If black metal fans are against everything why would they be for this film?" Touche.
