SIGUR RÓS - INNI

Inni is Sigur Rós's second live film following 2007s 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 focusses 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.

Please be advised strobe lighting and flashing images are used during sigur rós' live performance footage.

"haunting, emotion-drenched . . . soul-stirring fusion of joy and heartache . . . usher[s] the listener into a state of near-celestial rapture."

"Morisset looks to have provided the perfect visual match to the band's music . . . one of the more anticipated concert films of recent days."

"Spellbinding."
- T'Cha Dunlevy, Montreal Gazette

"The ghost-like, ethereal quality of the visuals mixed with the otherworldly sounds can captivate in their intensity as well as carry you to another plane of existence. Let the music wash over you, enjoy the religious experience on screen, and convert all your friends into lovers of uniquely original music."
- Jared Mobarak, The Film Stage

"Darkly beautiful."
- Cyn Collins, City Pages
