Björk: Voltaïc(2009)
Björk: Voltaïc Synopsis
Leave it to Björk to make a concert release that can be treated as part of her regular body of work rather than a side note. While Björk fans have occasionally complained about the amount of repackaging of her albums, Voltaic reaffirms just how important the live aspect is to her music, and provides a couple of different perspectives on it as well. Volta sparked a particularly inspired and lavish tour that, arguably, ended up being bigger than the actual album was, but tapped into the most dramatic, primal, and elegant aspects of Björk's art overall. It's fitting, then, that the chronicles of the Volta tour are just as thoughtfully crafted as the shows were.
Björk: Voltaïc (2009) is a music and documentary film directed by Russell Thomas, released on June 30, 2009 with a runtime of 1h 32m. It stars Björk, Mark Bell, Aðalheiður Þorsteinsdóttir and Guðrún Finnbjarnardóttir. Viewers rate it 4.9 out of 10 across 6 ratings.
