Full Metal Village/ Ein Heimatfilm

Wacken. A small village in north germany. Many farmers, mainly old people. Young girls that dream of a model career, a lot of cows. Nothing special, nothing exiting. But then, once a year the metal fans from all over the world travel to this small unexiting small village to celebrate one of the most famous metal festivals worldwide. The idyll of the village is disturbed for a few days, the old ladys philosophise about blood rituals while they are having their cup of coffee and the metal fans run over the supermarket for beer. This movie from the japanese Sung-Hyung Cho shows two completely different worlds that meet once a year. When you bring patience for the slow motion you will enjoy it. It is absolutly worth watching.
