Originally released on 9 July 2004,
METALLICA: Some Kind of Monster follows the band through
three of the most turbulent years in their over three-decade long career. It
gives viewers an incredibly raw and intimate look into the lives and psyches of
the members of one of the most successful rock bands in music history as they
battle their way through addiction, domestic life, backlash from their fans,
and near-total disintegration during the making of their St. Anger album.
The documentary, directed by the
award-winning team of Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky (Brother’s Keeper,
Paradise Lost 1-3), won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary
Feature.
