If you haven’t seen this yet, you absolutely must. The breathtakingly gorgeous documentary film about Sigor Ros’ tour of their homeland by my friend Dean DeBlois.
sigur rós break their two-year silence to release their first-ever film and a companion album later this autumn. filmed over two weeks last summer when the band undertook a free tour of iceland, ‘heima’ stands as a colossal labour of love – not to say grand folly – typical of this most exacting of bands.
while most people set up a few cameras at, say, a festival, and call it a dvd, sigur rós decided they would push the boat (bus and plane) out for their debut venture into live film, hauling 40-plus people round 15 locations to the furthest flung corners of their homeland to create something, well, inspirational.
Inspirational indeed.
