Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced
Get Ready to Be Boyzvoiced is a fascinatingly satirical caricature of cheesy boy bands populating the music industry circa AD 2000. Directors Espen Eckbo, Henrik Elvestad and Mathis Fürst catalogue the ups-and-downs of the fictitious group Boyzvoiced (Norwegian cousins of the Backstreet Boys), complete with scheming manager, idiotic fan, and calculating groupies. Federico Fellini would have made just this kind of movie if only he read ‘Twist Magazine’!
