I felt like I was there with the band through the whole movie--not in a theater. This is not only a cool sensation, but it makes the viewer feel like they are really connected to Iceland, and to all the people there. I think the format of the film is deceptively simple--I mean, there's no narrator to tell you what to think. But then this allows you to learn to love Iceland and its people and the band as much as you can without actually living there. I think the band is saying, "Here's our home. We hope you love it as much as we do." And the combination of music and landscape and small towns is a way to say this with very few words at all.
