Directed by Alan Parker and starring Bob Geldof, this R-rated film is a masterpiece of music video art. Pink Floyd The Wall is a 1982 British live action/adult animated surrealist musical drama film, based on Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall. Loosely based on the life story of Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's original front man (who was kicked out of the band for his bizarre and disturbing behavior only to go insane shortly thereafter), The Wall stars Bob Geldof as Pink, a mentally damaged man who has gone from a hopeful child artist to a burned-out rock star drifting away from reality. As Pink festers in his hotel room, elements of his abusive childhood come back to haunt him until he begins to descend into absolute madness. Director Alan Parker's intense and fully realized film interpretation of the English band's classic album melds whimsical fantasy with dark Shakespearean drama. The film makes innovative use of sets, costumes, and special effects to create a unique surrealistic strangeness worthy of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali's Un Chien Andalou. Both disturbing and bedazzling, Pink Floyd: The Wall is a must-see film for any music lover. The screenplay was written by Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist Roger Waters. The Boomtown Rats vocalist Bob Geldof made his film debut as rock star Pink, who, driven to neurosis by the pressures of stardom and traumatic events in his life, constructs an emotional and mental wall to protect himself. However, this coping mechanism eventually backfires, and Pink demands to be set free. Like its associated album, the film is highly metaphorical, and frequently uses both visual and auditory symbols throughout its runtime. It features little dialogue, instead being driven by the music from the album throughout. The songs used in the film have several differences from their album versions, and one of the songs included, "When the Tigers Broke Free", does not appear on the album. Despite its turbulent production, the film received generally positive reviews and has an established cult following among Pink Floyd fans. Don't miss out on this special edition set that celebrates the 25th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic album "The Wall". This new DVD release of The Wall offers an improvement over the earlier DVD incarnation with much better picture and sound quality. The commentary by Roger Waters and the film's graphic designer Gerald Scarfe is the same one that appears on the earlier DVD, but it is a good track. Waters' music inspires as much fan loyalty as he does skepticism, and he comes across here in ways that will appeal to his fanbase while also providing ammunition for those who find him to be little more than a self-centered narcissist. Two different making-of documentaries (one much more recently produced than the other), production stills, and the film's trailer round out this fine package that will please fans of the film as well as Pink Floyd enthusiasts. Songs When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 1 New song, edited into two sections strictly for the film, but later released as one continuous song. The song was released as a single in 1982 and was later included on the 2001 compilation Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd and on the 2004 re-release of The Final Cut. In the Flesh?
