Now they've taken that same attitude with their first concert film, which is more of a journey through their on-stage production than a simple collection of live footage. It's also a visual documentation of one of the most ambitious tours in music history, which took the band to some of the most remote regions of their homeland and beyond. [More]

The whole island seems to be in transition – huge developments threaten to deface the natural grandeur of the place – and this documentary may yet come to represent a vital memorial. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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

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. Full Review |
