Plot Summary
Go Quiet is a music film directed by Dean DeBlois, featuring acoustic renditions of all nine songs from the 2010 album Go by Jón Þór (Jónsi) Birgisson. The film was created as a counterpart to the lavishly produced studio tracks of Go, with an emphasis on stripped-down intimacy. Go Quiet was filmed in Reykjavík during New Years, 2010, and features the festive sights and sounds of New Year's Eve in Iceland. Dean DeBlois, who also directed 2007's Heima for Sigur Rós, had this to say of the film's intent: "The concept behind ‘Go Quiet’ was simple: it’s New Year’s Day in Reykjavík, and Jónsi awakens to a trashed house in the wake of his party. He avoids cleaning up and instead procrastinates by playing songs that reflect the night before, the bittersweetness of new year, and the melancholy of a year gone by."
Customer Reviews
amazing...
This is a tremendous film; I can't believe it isn't better known...
Astounding, innovational, magnificent.
He's a real genius. The kind with little knick knacks around his house and probably 20 musical instruments just lying around 24/7. He so simply picks something up and creates the most beautiful music you've ever experienced. The film creates an atmosphere that just reels you in. It's like a day in the life of Jónsi and his musical expertise. Purchasing it might not be necessary, unless you plan on watching it over and over. But most definitely rent it, I'd recommend HD.
Beautiful
Jonsi delivers on an album that I'm not sure that Sigur Ros, collectively, would have been able to pull off as a group.
His stirring falsetto voice pulls you in and each song is sung with an emotional tidal wave of beauty, precision and heart.
I honestly feel bad for people that either don't know about Jonsi's music or are just too stubborn to take his beautiful songs and not feel the passion in them.
But it's all okay. It just leaves more for me! 😁
Thank you Jonsi, Alex, Sigur Ros and the people of iceland for sharing what I can only hope heaven sounds like.
