Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky, U.S., 2004; 139m

Three years in the making, this new film from acclaimed documentarians Berlinger and Sinofsky (Brother's Keeper, Paradise Lost) is a fascinating glimpse into the tortured psyche of the most successful metal band of all time as they faced monumental personal and professional challenges while recording their first studio album of original songs in five years. With extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, the film transcends rock-n-roll movie conventions, trading rock star posing for raw and truthful introspection. "This is not a film about Metallica," said drummer Lars Ulrich in Rolling Stone. "It's a film about relationships."

Tue July 6: 8:15 (directors will conduct Q&A following screening)
