Heima
March 28, 2009Being the devout Icelandic fan that I am it was only natural that I found my way to Sigur Ros’s documentary Heima. This film captures the Icelandic band’s cross country journey through Iceland as they performed free concerts for the people after one of their world tours. While I admit I knew very little of the band before, this film certainly turned me into a fan! There music is an acquired taste, but what I was most struck with was their ideals as a group - both towards their craft and their homeland. Heima is a wonderful little film that captures the essence of the people of Iceland and the stunning beauty of the landscape. If you haven’t seen it, do it now!
Hi Craig -
It’s been several years since we’ve worked together and my mind may have very well slipped your mind, but I’ve been reading your blog all this while and have finally gotten around to posting a comment!
Shane and I saw Sigur Ros in concert downtown in Vancouver at St. Andrews Wesley (I think that’s the name) church years ago and it is still one of best live shows I’ve ever seen. The music combined with their visual effects made for a very powerful performance that literally brought tears to my eyes at times.
I haven’t heard much about them recently so it was nice to read your post about them. I’ll have to check the documentary out.
- Say hi to Kristin for me. I keep meaning to send her a hello too!
