Heima by Sigur Ros

This is one of the most emotive and touching documentaries ever… The combination of music, images and words is perfect.
After completing a 13-month world tour in which they promoted their fourth album, the rock-oriented “Takk”, the band Sigur Rós came home to Iceland in the summer of 2006 to give free concerts as a sign of their gratitude to Iceland. There was an abandoned fishing town, a mountain foothill, a camp where locals are protesting the building of a dam, a wilderness outpost, a national park, a community coffee shop, and a large convert venue in Reykjavik which of course had been announced.
The result is a 97-minute documentary called Heima, which means “at home” or “homeland”. The film features gorgeous photography of the country’s mountains, rivers, valleys, and waterfalls as background for live performances of songs from all four Sigur Ros albums.
