The elegantly composed shots of the island's broodingly lonesome wide spaces offer clues as to the group's widescreen post-rock sound. Indeed, their music comes to seem site-specific, as environmentally immersed as the landscape art of Richard Long.

Sigur Ros' creativity and open attitude was at one with Iceland's ravishingly beautiful landscape.

When the band and the film move in sweet simpatico they produce a few precious moments of transcendent grandeur.

Made with love for fans, this is an indulgent but enjoyable film about the band and the places that have inspired their music.

Iceland’s extraordinary natural beauty is as much a star of the movie as Sigur Rós’s magisterial music and the all-local crew could hardly have done a more impressive promotional job had ‘Heima’ been commissioned by the Icelandic Tourist Board itself.
