- Upon returning home to Iceland from a world tour, Sigur Ros played some free, unanounced shows in small towns throughout the country. They enlisted director Dean DeBlois to film each of these special performances. The result of this experiment is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen captured to film. This is not just a concert documentary, DeBlois uses the landscape of Iceland to his advantage, capturing unbelievable shots of the isolated beautiful country and interspersing them with shots from each show. As the film goes on the places where each show takes place get more and more incredible. An abandoned fish factory, a protest camp in a beatiful valley, and a tiny cafe packed with families are just some of the amazing settings for these one off shows. If your not already a fan of Sigur Ros' music this is a perfect way to get aquainted. Anyone with an interest in music, film, or photography needs to see this film, it is simply breathtaking.
