Screaming Masterpiece

The documentary is not that good but the music is unbelievable.. Specially the openning with Sigur.. I'm still waiting to see them live so it just blew my mind away.. Heima helps a little..

Just cheerleading

Sigur Ros is wonderful and Bjork's interviews are lovely like always. But the problem with this documentary is that it's not really a documentary, it's more like a 90 minute advert for Iceland's music scene. Some cool concert clips but for the most part, not that great, just cheerleading like chemtrails* said.

yeah the narration isn't that convincing, but you can't argue with the music

the actual documentary could've been more interesting, but that's not really the point. mostly this is just a continuous concert of very good (and very differently good) pop, rock, electronic and orchestral music, or often, in a way that seems to be peculiarly icelandic, a strange mixture of the above. who cares if it's cheerleading - actually, isn't a portrayal of music of this kind inherently celebratory?

björk interviews are just the greatest.
