Movie Reviews of Screaming Masterpiece
Movie Review: Screaming Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Indeed a masterpiece! This is a wonderful documentary on the music scene in Iceland. Going through all of the genres of music, from ambient to punk to hip hop to classical, there is something for everyone. There are interesting interviews with several bands/performers and amazing performances! On top of that, the top notch cinematography and editing perfectly compliment the mood. The people over in Iceland are certainly doing it right, and this dvd shows it!Movie Review: Screaming Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
Even if you are not devoted to alternative music or music videos, this one will get your attention thanks to marvelous cinemaphotography and outstanding editing. Then there's Iceland and Bjork as a backdrop. Buy now before it goes out of print. The soundtrack CD of this production is OK, but the video has five times more impact.Movie Review: So Good!
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw a copy of it at a friend's place and borrowed it. It's so cool, I had to get my own. One of the best music docs I've seen! Good soundtrack too. It's really fun to watch the Icelanders making music with saws, hammers and nails. Bjork is by far not the only talent up there. Sigur Ros' opening in New York is brilliant!!Movie Review: Screaming decent documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're looking for a decent documentary on the music scene in Iceland, "Screaming Masterpiece" is it. Appart from the seemingly-endless begining credits, the db5.1 sound and cinematography are pretty darn good.
Personally, I found the interviews (mostly in Icelandic, naturally) to be very interesting. Although each segment did tend to come off as abreviated, all in all this is a very well made film.
Movie Review: Good introduction, but only an introduction.
Summary: 3 Stars
I basically agree with K. Dorsey's earlier review. This doc is certainly enjoyable and put together well, but it's an extremely brief and shallow introduction. In the vast majority of cases we get only brief fragments of performances. The experience is a little like listening to preview clips on Amazon Music, but with visuals. Somewhat frustratingly, the major exception to this is Björk. I adore Björk, but she's already a well-known international star and I'd rather hear and see some of the lesser-known artists.
I'm glad I've seen this - I'm highly motivated to track down some more music from some of these artists. So, as a promo vid for the Icelandic music scene, it's a success. As a documentary, it's a bit underwhelming.
