Think of them as the Icelandic Radiohead. Their music gets eaten up by the pop blogospheres day in and day out, but you never really get to know the band personally. In Heima, as the band travels the barren countryside of Iceland, you start to understand their style of music development through miniature commentaries by the band members. With near-perfect cinematography, however, you end up watching the movie more for its stellar performances, and less for band enlightenment. Though it doesn't top Once, it's a super-sonic ambient journey that must be experienced. 8.6/10.
