Metalhead - Clip From The Film, Screening In New York


You might of heard of the Icelandic film Metalhead (Málmhaus) before. This Ragnar Bragason-directed film, distributed by Cinelicious Pics, won't be released until early next year in the U.S., but a clip has been revealed today. The film is described as a "dark, intense drama of loss, faith, redemption, and heavy metal" and is also partly inspired by the church burnings in Norway in the 1990s.

Metalhead is coming to theaters and VOD in early 2015 from Cinelicious Pics. Check out the film's Facebook page for updates on that.

Before that, there will be a special screening of the film at Brooklyn's Saint Vitus Bar (1120 Manhattan Avenue) on November 25th. It will be a free screening, but with limited seating, so if you're interested in attending, you can get tickets for it here. If you are in town, this could be a good idea for a date!




Film description: "Fueled by a remarkable breakout performance by actress Thora Bjorg Helga, director Ragnar Bragason's intense drama of loss, faith, redemption begins with a farming accident in the 1980's that sends a young girl, Hera, and her parents into a tail-spin of grief over the death of her heavy metal music-obsessed older brother. A decade later and Hera is transformed into a sexy, surly headbanger and DIY musician, dressed in black leather and a Slayer t-shirt, clutching her dead brother's electric guitar as she howls anthems of rage to a barn full of cows. Seemingly trapped in a haunted landscape of slaughterhouses and barren winter fields, making all the wrong choices in her life - including coming on to the local priest and sleeping with her platonic best friend - Hera slowly, painfully comes to terms with her family's loss and the sound of her own true voice."

Metalhead features a soundtrack of 1980s and 1990s classics by Riot, Teaze, Savatage, Lizzy Borden and Megadeth. Winner of 8 awards at the 2014 Icelandic Film Awards including Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor & Actress, and Original Score.

Did you watch the movie somewhere? I know it's been released in some countries like Sweden, Germany. Apart from Iceland, of course.

I remember seeing it not long ago. Quite enjoyed it, the song "Svarthamar" probably being the highlight, awesome stuff.

Anyone else think the preacher on the tv looked a bit like Varg?
Probably won't get released here. Small foreign language film, maybe a dvd release in 5 years time.

It's a "nice to see" film (with a good soundtrack ) about how the pain of loss can ruin your life and your environment if you don't break the loop. Ultimately it's an intimate film with a survival message despite the scenes of grief and despair spiced by Icelandic landscapes.
