Sigur Ros post feature-length concert film on YouTube

March 10th, 2008 : John Kary

Sigur Ros have posted their feature-length concert film on YouTube for free viewing in its entirety. You can view the entire film here. (PS: It’s about 90-minutes long.)

Some might say, yay, great, free! But if you saw the HD trailer I talked about earlier, the YouTube video just can’t compete with the real deal. And I might even be pulling a David Lynch on this one and say that this film is not meant to be watched on an iPod or on YouTube, but viewed as a spectacle on the big screen.

I would encourage you to buy the DVD (it’s not available in HD!) and find the biggest screen and the best sound system you can; turn out the lights and turn up the volume. The surreal experience captured in this film is more like a work of art than any concert film I have seen. It was made to not just be watched, but experienced.
