I have just seen a feature length (musical) documentary film called Heima. It's about the 2006 national tour (including tiny village halls and completely acoustic shows on hillsides!) by homecoming Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros - returning from touring the world. It's is a really quite stunning piece of film making. I was very struck by it, as were my young kids, who - at one point - were standing there for 20 minutes or more gazing at pictures of austere mountains, groaning glaciers and ruined cottages - as Sigur Ros's (arguably) unique music swooped, plunged, soared. The whole things was unusually captivating. Has anybody else seen this?

Oooh, the whole film is on youtube! http://youtube.com/watch?v=dtiqrzmuWbw
Great, I have been wanting to watch it for a long time.
You can buy it for peanuts on Amazon.

I have to agree. Baraka is not meant to be watched on youtube. Go see it in a theatre.
