synopsis
INNI is Sigur Rós's second live film following 2007's hugely-celebrated “Heima”. Whereas that film positioned the enigmatic group in the context of their Icelandic homeland, providing geographical, social and historical perspectives on their otherworldly music, with uplifting results, “Inni” focusses purely on the band's performance, which is artfully and intimately captured by French-Canadian director Vincent Morisset (Arcade Fire's “Miroir Noir”). Interweaving archive material from the band's first ten years with the sometimes gossamer light, sometimes punishingly intense, concert footage, “Inni” is a persuasive account of one of the most celebrated and influential rock bands of recent years. “INNI is the intimate in the middle of a big stage. It's the abstraction of the gestures and the magnification of delightful details. It's a tribute to the unique energy of Sigur Rós. INNI leaves room to all the beautiful images that come to our minds when we listen to their music.” (Vincent Morisset)

The concert film is one of cinema’s most difficult and complex genres: two languages meet, confront each other, try to prevail one over the other and explore a rhythmic code which is unprecendented both for the musicians as for the director. The result is seldom an original and harmonious fusion. However, watching the brilliant and well-researched black and white images of INNI, one gets the sense of a common script, from the keyboards to voice, which moulds and fades the images, looks for signs and details and which rebels against convention time and again. For those who love Sigur Rós it is a genuine gift that the director does not ruin the perfect musical sound; for those looking for cinema, this isn’t just music; it is a creation of images which do not illustrate the music, but serve to enhance it. (Giorgio Gosetti)
