I cannot rate this product highly enough. I cannot even give this product constructive criticism as there is nothing to criticise. It is a majestic piece of work in every sense. It is an auditory and visual treat of which I have never experienced and will unlikely to experience again.
The cinematography is outstanding and captures the band superbly as well as the stunning Icelandic scenery, people & sense of community unbelievably well - it has made me want to emigrate!
As for the music, well if you don't know Sigur Ros, buy/watch this and you will be converted instantly. If you do know Sigur Ros then you will be overjoyed at this spectacle. The songs live are captured superbly and are better than the studio recording- the atmosphere of the locations adds to the auditory experiences and lifts them higher than I thought would be possible.
Quite simply breathtaking and a product I am proud to say I own. This comes highly recommended and would advise anyone without this in their collection to buy as soon as possible.
Your only regret would be "why didn't I buy this earlier?"
Amazing

This movie is a work of art. The cinematography, the editing and the composition - and that's just the structure itself!
If you are a Sigur Ros fan, it would be a crime not to own this DVD. It shows in DVD quality in your own room the audioable and visual aura that surrounds this band. It's a pleasure to watch, to try to gain some insight into the band, and watch visa's of Iceland as well.
Highly Recommended.
Wow... and thats just the packaging !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just incredible. I read a review and yes the packaging is wonderful... alone just buy this for the book ... but for the true Sigur Ros experience in their native land this is a must.
If you like Sigur Ros then you will be dumbfounded by this movie.
Believe me when I say this, you will not be disappointed ... you'll be overwhelmed ...
It makes you say "Why did I spend last summer elsewhere ?"
At the closing credits I say to myself "How can this masterpiece be eclipsed"... yet knowing Sigur Ros it won't be a problem.
Phenominal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you could have an orgasm out of your eyes and ears for three and a half hours; this is what you would see and hear.
Inspirational

The first thing you will notice about this DVD set is the packaging, which is not a bad thing, as its exceptional. The packaging is also a sign of things to come too, as unlike most music DVD`s Sigur Ros have gone above and beyond with this, in both its presentation and definatly with the content.
Playing out in more of a documentry/film style, this 2 DVD set follows the band members as they perform a series of small, free shows in their native Iceland, ending in one big show in the capital of Reykjavik.
This is its first main difference in comparison to other music DVD`s, it is made up of various shows rather than just one or two shows/gigs.
This actually works very very well, for one reason, the simply stunning Icelandic scenery they choose as a backdrop for most of the DVD. This is a running theme too, including interviews with the Icelandic public, the band themselves and many little neat insights in to the country, its scenery and its often quirky places of interests.
The second disk cuts away the film element, and instead opts for a more tradional music DVD setup by cutting away the interviews and allowing you to view the live performances in all their splendour. It also includes a few interesting featuretts.
This is simply an amazing set, its amazing to look at, its got an amazing atmosphere, its amazing to watch, its amazing to hear its even got an amazing smell, but, its hard to recommend to everyone, my advice would be to listen to atleast some of their music first, then buy this and be blown away by one of the best, original and most beautiful bands of all time touring in one of the most beautiful countries on earth.
