Squeaky Wheel is doing Buffalo a huge solid this Friday (February 24) when they screen Inni, a film by Vincent Morisset featuring Icelandic rock gods Sigur Ros. I didn't think Sigur Ros could top 2007's glorious Heima, which featured the band in a variety of configurations performing for their home country in a staggering variety of settings (indoors, outdoors, in an old quarry, in a dinning room, electric, acoustic, etc.), but they did with Inni. If Heima was hyper-real in it's presentation of Sigur Ros, Iceland, and it's people, Inni unfolds like a fantastic dream, it's heavily processed black and white images capturing the stripped down performance (no strings or brass bands) in it's purist terms through exceedingly bold compositions and expressionist use of light and darkness. In musical terms, Inni is Sigur Ros triumphantly wrapping up a chapter of their lives before moving onto to a new phase and sound that Sigur Ros fans are eagerly waiting for with a magnificent retrospective of their first six albums. In terms of sound and vision, Inni is more than a concert film, it's a pure cinematic experience, and one that you won't forget.
But don't take my word for it, check out the trailer:
And an utterly mesmeric clip of "Festival," from the film:
Inni screens at Squeaky Wheel (712 Main Street) at 7 PM. Tickets are $5 for members, $7 for non members.
