The Misanthrope (2007)

Nocturno Culto’s film is part video diary and part documentary. It shows via imagery, without narration, just what it is about the architecture and environment of Norway that was instrumental in creating an atmosphere for Black Metal to emerge. It's honest, hypnotic, insightful and occasionally inspired. At heart, it captures the cold, ancient aspect of the beauty of nature that is, for me at least, what the music is really all about.
