  Strange Darling 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  Watched this on a plane. One of fav things to do is watch something inappropriate on a plane. It makes me squirm to have to close a laptop or move a phone. In this instance the sexual violence was a fast forward moment for me in public.

The art that exists in the wash of nonsense around black metal can be found in here, but it’s fleeting. And I don’t mean the paintings or installations. I mean the strangeness these teens leaned into while dissecting the music making process. When given no resources or attention, these kids hunkered down in basements and…
