Anvil! The Story Of Anvil (DVD, 2009)

Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL is the sensitive and irresistibly funny story of unsung heroes of Canadian heavy metal Anvil. The band gained a cult following among heavy metal enthusiasts during the eighties, but never really made it in the mainstream rock circuit. But rocking out isnÆt just a matter of attitude or luck; it is instead a vocation which Anvil never turned its back on. Director Sacha Gervasi (THE TERMMINAL) witnessed AnvilÆs fall from grace directly, having worked as a roadie for the band in its heyday. Moving and hilarious, ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL documents the groupÆs last shot at stardom and follows it on the road during an often farcical European tour.

ReviewsLos Angeles Times - The most heartwarming film ever made about metal music, Rolling Stone - Hardcore inspirational, The New Yorker - The most stirring release of the year thus far, The Times - Thoughtfully constructed [à] has to be one of the most engaging, big-hearted music movies yet made. ItÆs an emotional journey for the audience, one that is as likely to have them weeping with laughter as it is to have them welling up over the bitter disappointments of the men it follows. ItÆs a heart-lifting story about following an impossible dream.

Additional InformationANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL is the sensitive and irresistibly funny story of unsung heroes of Canadian heavy metal Anvil. Jewish teenagers Robb Reiner and Steve "Lips" Kudlow met in the mid-seventies in a Toronto high school and soon decided that rock was their destiny. Anvil was forged. The band gained a cult following among heavy metal enthusiasts during the eighties, but never really made it in the often cruel and clueless mainstream rock circuit. Not withstanding a plethora of eager fans including Metallica and Guns æNÆ Roses, who have frequently cited Anvil as a source of inspiration, the Toronto based outfit got irremediably swallowed by oblivion. But rocking out isnÆt just a matter of attitude or luck; it is instead a vocation which Anvil never turned its back on, while patiently waiting for its call to greatness. Director Sacha Gervasi (THE TERMMINAL) witnessed AnvilÆs fall from grace directly, having worked as a roadie for the band in its heyday. Moving and hilarious, ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL documents Reiner and KudlowÆs last shot at stardom and follows them on the road during an often farcical European tour. The filmÆs recurring grotesque and surreal situations could see it mistaken for an attempted mockumentary, when it is nothing more than the heart-felt portrait of two stubbornly dedicated dreamers.

Compelling, sad and shows in reality that know matter how talented you are you have to be in the right place at the right time.
