Film and music in perfect harmony for Bjork Gudmundsdóttir film
The Icelandic singer’s career has zigged and zagged from zany to obtuse to delightfully weird. All of those aspects are captured in a boundary-shattering new concert movie, Biophilia Live, a film that seeks to go beyond the cliches of the genre and provide fresh insights into the artist and her work.
It is also a movie with a message. Across her Biophilia project — along with the 70-date world tour there was an accompanying LP and iPad application — Bjork puts forward the view that, far from acting in opposition, technology and nature can exist in harmony. This belief is movingly and dramatically articulated in the film, through a spoken word introduction by David Attenborough and stunning backing visuals.
