Bjork: Biophilia Live Screening

Overview

In 2013, at London's Alexandra Palace, filmmakers Nick Fenton and Peter Strickland followed Bjork as she performed every single track on 2011 album Biophilia. What emerged was a rather dazzling doco that, to be fully appreciated, should most definitely be seen on the big screen. To that end, Palace Cinemas are hosting two screenings of Biophilia Live in two locations on the same night: one at Norton Street and the other in Paddington.

Bjork and her band give the tunes spectacular treatment, drawing not only on traditional instruments but also on all manner of non-traditional ones, including those of the digital variety. There's even a few that haven't been invented yet. The Guardian described the film as "utterly bonkers yet moving", while the Hollywood Reporter got poetic. "Heavenly constellations billow across dark sections of screen above the stage," the review reads, "sometimes engulfing Bjork like she is some kind of gargantuan space goddess."
