When Sigur Ros finished up a world tour in 2007,they chose to play a series of free concerts in their homeland of Iceland (hence the title, 'Heima',or home land in Icelandic). This documentary follows their concert tour in various parts of the country. Framed against the rugged,but unspoiled & beautiful Icelandic countryside, 'Heima' is an absolute joy to watch,as well as listen to. Sigur Ros's music reminds one at times of pre-'Dark Side Of The Moon' era Pink Floyd (say,between Ummagumma & Meddle),with their use of spacey,sparse sound & high falsetto lyrics (sung in Icelandic,unfortunately without subtitles,but don't let that keep you from checking them out). This film has been described by some as a spiritual experience. It's more than obvious that the Sugarcubes aren't the only import from Iceland to make an impact outside their home country. No MPAA rating,but does contain a rude word or two during the interview sequences,but otherwise nothing to offend.
