After bassist Jason Newsted quits the band in 2001, superstars Metallica realize that they need an intervention. In this revealing documentary, the filmmakers follow the three rock stars as they hire a group therapist and grapple with 20 years of repressed anger and aggression while searching for a replacement bass player and creating a new album confronting their personal demons.
Named one of the ten best music documentaries of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, this groundbreaking and critically acclaimed 2004 documentary, directed and produced by the award-winning team of Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, takes you inside the studio and into the psyches of Metallica as they record their Grammy-winning album St. Anger.
Join us at Nitehawk Prospect Park for a rare, archival 35mm screening to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film Roger Ebert called, “Brilliant Oscar-level documentary filmmaking. Never a dull moment… fascinating…” and NPR’s David Edelstein cited as “One of the most marvelous rock documentaries of all time…”
