listen to the wind

Only music can bring people closer without words. The poetic melody and the picturesque scenery of Iceland weave a blurred dream for the audience. Although there are very few dialogues and I can't understand the lyrics, it still makes people intoxicated. Among them, the final farewell completely ignited everyone's enthusiasm and the inherent vigorous vitality. The most addictive thing in the film is the innocent smiles on the faces of the children when they are frolic in the scene, and the peace and relaxation that comes from the heart when the adults listen to the music in the twilight and under the lights, which is like a dream. I think this is the most ideal performance, no special venue, no fancy lights, no need to even care about whether there is an audience, because similar souls will eventually come together because of music, and every day should be worth looking forward to, because It may become your best memory in the future.

Jon Thor Birgisson: I think Kjarri's grandmother, she went to the concert and thought it was really loud, and then heard it was on TV, too. Like, "It was on the TV! Let's go home! If it's on TV, let's go home and watch it on TV." Then it was the end of the last song and these crazy backdrops and stuff, like really intense. Then she thought something was wrong with her TV and shut it off. I think it's nice.
