Sigur Ros - Heima

This is the trailer to a full of character and beautifully made DVD (“Heima”) by Icelandic band Sigur Ros. It is essentially a concert film of Sigur Ros’ concert series in their native Iceland during the summer of 2006. After an extensive world tour the band had decided to play a few unannounced and free concerts ‘at home’ (“Heima”), i.e. across Iceland, often in very small villages and often in very picturesque settings (disused churches, derelict factories and Iceland’s abundant and plentiful landscapes…).

Part devotion to the concept of ‘home’ and the native Icelandic people, part tribute to the past and erstwhile Iceland… But overall a very powerful and atmospheric combination of sound and images… which is obviously of great interest and appeal for me…
