Jonas Åkerlund is a Swedish film and music-video director known for directing feature films such as Spun and Lords of Chaos, and for numerous high-profile music videos for artists including The Prodigy, Madonna, Metallica and Lady Gaga.

Director of feature films Spun (2002) and Lords of Chaos (2018); acclaimed and controversial music-video director (including The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up"); noted for provocative, stylized visuals.

DeBaser reviews focus on Jonas Akerlund's feature films Lords of Chaos and Spun and his music-video pedigree. Critics praise some aesthetic choices but fault Lords of Chaos for historical inaccuracies, tonal ambiguity, and reduced emphasis on music. Spun is described as a chaotic, drugged descent with aggressive editing. The coverage highlights controversy around portrayal of black metal figures and violent events.

For:Fans of music-related cinema, black metal historians, and viewers of provocative/controversial films.

 Despite "Lords of Chaos" ultimately proving to be quite a mediocre film product, its viewing awakened in me conflicting sensations, leading me to reflections on facts, characters, and themes I thought were now relegated to the chest of indifference.
