Gutterdämmerung

Gutterdämmerung is a 2016 rock music film directed by Björn Tagemose, promoted as being "the loudest silent movie ever".[1] The film features a score provided by a live rock band. The film stars Iggy Pop, Grace Jones, Henry Rollins, Lemmy, Nina Hagen, Tom Araya, Slash, Jesse Hughes, and Josh Homme and Justice.[1] The film is shot in black and white in the tradition of classic silent film of 1920's Hollywood, but instead of having backing piano music, a live rock group hammers out the accompanying soundtrack, whilst special effects from the film explode to life all around the audience.[2] The film's plot has a religious setting and is focused around "The Devil's Evil Guitar" which has been removed from the world by the supreme being, in a newly puritanical world where rock and roll is relegated to history.[3] Grace Jones plays "the devil", governing the testosterone of the evil rock'n'roll masses.[1] Henry Rollins stars as the puritanical Priest Svengali. A punk rock angel named Vicious (Iggy Pop) is sent to Earth to test humanity and to set the world on fire.[1][2]
