[Apex]

i love her dark glitter dress!

and i´m happy the movie is coming "soon".

i need a luxury box set with cornucopia film & live cd.

[childwithlepro]

i'm confused
is zane lowe part of the film?
or what is is the exclusive content for cinemas that makes it different from apple tv?

apple version is 74 minutes, full length is around 98 minutes. So I guess some songs will be cut from the apple version

Did not wake up to watch it live at 4am lol but the film is currently available on Apple TV (for a limited time, it says) and you can watch individual song performances on Apple Music (in the ‘music videos’ section), and there’s also a full audio live album there. They cut “Ovule”, “Show Me Forgiveness” and “Body Memory” from the original setlist, but maybe they will be featured in the longer cinematic cut.

I'm watching it now, so far so good. Being there and seeing the show live must have surely been an incredible experience. Arisen and Utopia are a bit meandering, while Mouth Mantra feels directly cacophonic to me, but the visual editing is very good! Blissing Me was beautiful, and Victimhood is definitely a career highlight. Spectacular.

I'll keep watching.

[ultramarine]

my only quibble so far is that "isobel" feels a bit stripped of life -- I remember it being a really euphoric moment during the live show, which I didn't get from the recorded version, but maybe the arrangement did change throughout the course of the tour

kudos, though, for the editing on "arisen my senses" -- nothing can match the sensation of seeing the visual spectacle live, but this comes pretty darn close

[nicotobares]

Is James Merry one of the members of the clarinet septet? I think so! Haha

i think you meant mouth's cradle... right?

[nicotobares]

Exactly!! My bad lol

Watched it, mostly loved it, can’t wait to see it again on a big screen, uncut.

My only minor qualms are that “Notget” seemed a bit flat in this particular performance (at the show I went to it definitely felt more rousing and high-energy, and Manu’s and Bergur’s outro was way longer, a proper banger to close the show), and the editing with the overlapping animations was a bit heavy-handed at times. Also, you can sometimes see/hear some obvious stitching of different audio sources for one song.

But I’m nitpicking. The film’s beautifully shot and feels so immersive. It’s like a wonderful culmination and wrap-up of the past decade of her career, the final, glamorous stop of the Vulnicura—Utopia—Fossora journey before Björk moves on to the next thing. Very happy it’s finally out!

Beautiful hidden place (!), blissing me, tabula rasa, future forever
and I love the extraness of the pagan poetry - lossss - sue me transition
Funny how they removed her vocals from the chorus of fossora (compared to bootlegs) but it was a good decision

[ultramarine]

"losss" is most definitely one of the highlights for me: this live performance enhanced the emotional charge of an already stunning and poignant song

I actually appreciated the sonic overload in "mouth's cradle"; just wondering why the manifesto is sandwiched between "blissing me" and "hidden place"---wouldn't it have made much more sense right before "future forever"?

looking forward to hearing "ovule," "body memory," and "show me forgiveness" in the full-length film

glad to see everyone is enjoying cornucopia

[Patrigan]

I went to my brother who owns a very big tv to watch it. I was a bit scared that it will not work as well on a tv as it did live, but they did great! I loved it a lot. Missed body memory a lot, as it was a highlight for me during the show. Still afraid for that to loose a lot of its impact on tv compared to the live experience. But I loved it a lot

This is still the real „utopia“ for me as the album
Never clicked before cornucopia.

Also I miss claimstaker and saint, but that’s really all

yeah, definitely...

[Simontreal]

an audio live album is also available on the itunes store, for people not on apple music. (only the songs in the broadcast)

[kiknos]

so do we know when the movie is gonna be out in theatres? Is it also going to be released as a cd/blu ray?

[stupidfambaloo]

while the actual article is pretty terrible, there are small clips from body memory and ovule in slides 5 and 14 of this post from resident advisor (video only) :

[childwithlepro]

So... was Cornucopia shown at all in Iceland during this weekend?
The full-length theatrical version of the film was supposed to premiere at the Smárabíó cinema on February 1.

But I searched all sort of Icelandic news websites to see how it went in terms of audience reception and found no mention of Cornucopia.

Plus, It seems there's a heavy stormy weather all across the country in Iceland right now, I wonder if this affected the premiere?

And Smárabíó is now showing showtimes on the 7, 8 & 9th of February

björk's is competing with Titanic 3D & Robbie Williams Better Man.

[meisbaer]

Does anyone know where to find info in which countries the film is going to be shown in the cinema?


For Biophilia there was a website, I think. I'd love to see it

[judaschrist]

soooooo.... has anyone been able to watch the full version of the cornucopia film yet (incl. Body memory and ovule)???

there was a reddit user based in iceland who saw the complete film there. not sure if they’re a member of the 4um as well.

I wonder what’s with the silence on this. Are we getting a wide release? Weird that the audio so far is only the “Apple Music live”
