Sigur Rós are the kind of band you can love even though you can’t understand the language they sing in. Maybe that's why people love them? Who knows - I don’t want to ruin their special aura by questioning it. Regardless of their fans adoration, they’ve actually been on hiatus since 2009.
Before they left us broken hearted, Sigor Rós let Vincent Morisset film two of their final shows at Alexandra Palace in London for a documentary and thus, Inni was born. A celebration of the band’s talent and discography, it is equal parts hypnotic and entertaining. This doco was premiered at the 2011 Venice International Film Festival, so it has a high amount of credibility as well.
Inni was purposely shot and re-shot in black and white, on 16mm film through different prisms and views in order to create a certain atmosphere that encourages viewers to enter the world of Sigur Rós. The track listing of the documentary also heavily features their earlier work, and partly acts as an introduction to the band.
Keeping the atmosphere alive, the only venue in Brisbane to have screenings of Inni is GoMA. They’re also very big on exclusivity, offering only two screenings of this masterpiece and considering they are free, you better not waste any time getting there.
