This haunting and beautiful short film, which is much more than a music video, is for the Sigur Rós track Fjögur Píanó off their current album Valtari is directed by Alma Har'el and stars Shia LaBeouf and Denna Thomsen. The acclaimed Icelandic band Sigur Rós recently asked a dozen filmmakers to each choose a song from its new album, Valtari, and shoot a video inspired by the music as part of their Mystery Film Project. All the directors received the same $10,000 budget and zero instructions from the band.
The Illustrations of Shia LaBeouf
"Shia [LaBeouf] is in some ways an art rapist," says Marilyn Manson. Who knew the actor was such the consummate artist and publisher. LaBeouf says he "is obsessed with the history of visual culture" and puts out around 10 books a year with his publishing imprint The Campaign Book. Right now the modest, but impressive catalogue includes graphic novels by himself like Let's Fucking Party and Cyclical, as well as books by Marilyn Manson and Kid Kudi. Above is an illustration by LeBeouf himself from Cyclical.
