The extraordinary, soaring beauty of "Heima" is beyond compare to almost anything I've seen or heard on the screen. The makers of this film have crafted a near-perfect document of sound and vision. Produced with just enough studio and cutting-room floor trickery, "Heima" showcases the Icelandic homeland with a singular reverence for its awesome natural majesty while presenting the musicians as humble subjects of the people for whom they perform. It is a moving, emotional film that I guarantee will transport you to a higher plane.

Essentially this video captures a lot of what goes through the hearts and minds of the band members who comprise Sigur Ros. You tour different regions, landscapes, towns, and facets of Icelandic culture as the band speaks to you. At every stop and in between these moments where the bandmembers share their thoughts the band plays a set and you get to experience some of the songs from these sets.
Pretty much a must for a fan and a good recommendation for some of the artistically minded individuals for a watch.

As Sigur Ros bassist Georg speaks in the tour diary included in the second disk of the Heima DVD, up until the release of this film, Sigur Ros fans had not really been given a visual document of the bands work and spirit aside from the album artwork, which is beautiful, but does not really give fans the kind of living experience that they have always wanted. Heima is a film about Iceland, and the islands most popular band, Sigur Ros, on a short unannounced tour throughout the country. Heima means "at home," which means that the band is in their most comfortable environment, their own home country with all of it's beautiful, homely charms.
The majority of the film is presented in the form of concert footage and footage of Iceland's beautiful natural landscapes. It is divided into passages concentrated on different towns, villages, and cities, and personal concert experiences from each. The idea that this could turn into a dull, Discovery Channel documentary is immediately disproved, as the band remind us that they are among the most innovative and consistently interesting performers in a long time. In fact, Sigur Ros turn what we know about documentaries upside down. Within the first fifteen minutes, we are shown live footage of the band performing one of the better songs off of Takk while completely silhouetted by an earthen cloth that takes up the entire expanse of a stage. The entire song is performed under shadow, reminding us that the music of Sigur Ros is as ... Read More

I must admit that I am NOT a fan of Sigur Rós! I lived in Iceland when the concert in Reykjavik went off and I was bored. Some may say I was negligant - but that was just the way it was at that time.
Then I was recommended this DVD. I was very sceptical at first and it took me a long time to get my hands on it.
Reluctantly I put it on - and was blown away.
This "movie" is simply amazing. It is photographed in an amazingly beautiful way and SR's soundtrack is absolutely perfect.
The landscapes of Iceland filmed in a special blue hue is just captivatving and it stresses the mood of the film, the country, the stories and... everything Iceland!
I am so please having bought this DVD and it is a great supplement to "Screaming Masterpiece" - which btw was the movie that made me interested in SR beyond the hype.
"Heima" and "Screaming Masterpiece" are highly recommended!

Wlasnie obejrzalem Dvd 'Heima'. Pierwszy z dwu krazkow (90 min) jest mixem fantastycznych zdjec krajobrazo-kultury, mieszkancow Islandi, oraz muzyki zespolu Sigur Ros - zespolu ktory po objechaniu planety Ziemia powrocil na macierzysta wyspe z seria darmowych koncertow w niespodziewanych miejscach. Wystepy zespolu sa tu zgrabnie wplecione pomiedzy lokalne krajobazy (prywatny pokoj goscinny, protestowana zapora wodna, zapomniana przetwornia ryb, otwarte i klubowe sceny Reykiaviku), oraz krotkie wypowiedzi czlonkow zespolu. Sciezka dzwiekowa jest tu wyprodukowana wrecz fenomenalnie (i pozwala na wybor opcji odsluchu w zaleznosci od jakosci domowego naglosnienia). Sama muzyka - w stylu ambient rock (?) - moze sie podobac lub nie, wiec nie bede tu zbytnio poruszal Twojego 'splawika'. Powiem tylko ze zespol - swietnie znany w Europie - w naszym miescie bedzie wystepowal za kilka dni w historycznym Chicago Theatre, a bilety wyprzedane byly juz od dawna.
Drugi krazek (150 min) jest zlepkiem zdjec koncertowych (czesc powtarza sie z pierwszego Dvd), i mozna sobie go odpuscic. Jednakze polecam pierwsza czesc 'Heima', chocby ze wzgledu na niechybna uczte wizualnych emocji.
