Cinema Suicide

It was recently announced that the Michael Moynihan book, Lords of Chaos, more or less the last word on Burzum/Mayhem madness of Norwegian black metal, was finally getting the film treatment. But this took me by surprise. I had no idea that Until The Light Takes Us was even in production and this is a pretty impressive movie. Not only is it very nice to look at, as Norway is inherently picturesque, it talks to people at the center of the Black Circle directly to get the whole story. Hopefully, by this point, all of these guys are old enough to stop embellishing the tale. This goes especially for Varg Vikernes, which is the movie’s greatest achievement. Varg has stood by the sidelines since his incarceration, carefully choosing who he speaks to about the events surrounging the church arson and the murder of Euronymous. This is the first time since those tragic days that Varg has gone on record with a filmmaker about it since he has had plenty of opportunities to talk in the past. Below are the dates and locations in the US where you can see the movie. For once, one of these shows is reasonably local to me.
