ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL (2008) Cert: TBC

Director: Sacha Gervasi

Cast: Steven 'Lips' Kudlow Robb Reiner Glenn Gyorffy

Synopsis: Anvil! The Story of Anvil stars real-life members of the band, Steve "Lips" Kudlow and Robb Reiner. As 14 year old school friends, they promised to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, went on to become the "demigods of Canadian metal," releasing one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982's Metal on Metal. The album influenced a musical generation, including Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, that went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil's career took a different path - straight to obscurity. Picking up on their story 26 years later, director Sacha Gervasi, who worked as a roadie for the band when he was 16, uncovers an achingly touching and often hilarious account of Anvil's last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. At its core, Anvil! The Story of Anvil is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year. Anvil rocks - it has no other choice. “The best rock ’n’ roll movie since ‘...Spinal Tap’? Hell yeah.” – Kerrang!
