Inni is Sigur Rós’s second live film following 2007’s hugely-celebrated Heima. Whereas that film positioned the enigmatic group in the context of their Icelandic homeland, providing geographical, social and historical perspectives on their otherworldly music, with uplifting results, Inni focuses purely on the band’s performance, which is artfully and intimately captured by French-Canadian director Vincent Morisset (Arcade Fire’s “Miroir Noir”). Interweaving archive material from the band’s first ten years with the sometimes gossamer light, sometimes punishingly intense, concert footage, Inni is a persuasive account of one of the most celebrated and influential rock bands of recent years. “_Inni_ is the intimate in the middle of a big stage. It’s the abstraction of the gestures and the magnification of delightful details. It’s a tribute to the unique energy of Sigur Rós. Inni leaves room to all the beautiful images that come to our minds when we listen to their music.” (Vincent Morisset) –Venice Days
Sigur ros in glorious black and white. Reminds me of the film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligiari. It's classic.
“Flying the flag for the rock film as an art film.”
