ForeBears (2013)
Dir. Marie Cachet
A documentary by Marie Cachet and Varg Vikernes (aka 'Count Grishnackh' of Burzum) that chooses to observe its subject, as opposed to commenting on it in any direct, expository way. Structurally it brings three things together into one whole:
- Footage that closely resembles home movies (watch as the Count gets studious with a book before making himself a hot drink in his favourite cup. Oh, the excitement~);
- Excerpts from the Egyptian Book of the Dead;
- Burzum music as soundtrack, namely the Sôl austan, Mâni vestan (2013) album.
The freedom that mother and children enjoy is enviable. You may not sympathise with the Pagan belief system, but at least the kids are learning genuine skills, not being instructed in layered religious guilt and shame or how to do algebra.
