Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey
Directed by: Sam Dunn, Scot McFadyen
(Warner Home Video)
Sam Dunn is a British Columbia anthropologist who’s into Slayer. The film is his cinematic thesis on the most adored and despised music genre, heavy metal, in all its permutations. The interview with sexy rock goblin Ronnie James Dio at his LA mansion full of swords makes the double disc set a keeper.
