Hanoi screens 'INNI' again

Recorded in London in 2008, the film captures Sigur Rós’s final two shows following a lengthy tour in support of “Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust,” which translates roughly as “With a buzz in our ears, we play endlessly,” according to a press release from Hanoi Cinematheque.

Directed by Vincent Morisset, it’s a close look at the INNI band in concert, often from several feet away. The majority of the film is in grainy black-and-white, reinforcing the view outside Iceland of the quartet as mythic and unknowable, as if it had risen from the fog-shrouded lava fields of its island home.

“Their music may sound as if it falls easily from their fingers, but INNI shows just how hard the band work to create their sound. It is required by the producers that we issue the following notice: PLEASE BE ADVISED – strobe lighting and flashing images are used during Sigur Rós’s live performance footage,” says the release.
