Full Metal Village, 2 stars
Full Metal Village attempts to play up the juxtaposition between a sleepy village and the hordes of metalheads that invade Wacken for an extended weekend annually.
And fails in the attempt.
While the bits on the visiting fans vary between interesting and cringe-inducing, the bits on the villagers remain uniformly boring. And since the ratio inbetween the categories does not favor the former, Full Metal Village ends up being a very boring movie. While the characters interviewed have occasionally interesting things to say, the slow pacing hurts.
Props to the director for using Ensiferum for one of the very few stage scenes.
