Glorious because its imagery is hypnotically striking, frequently resonant, and superbly photographed by the gifted cinematographer Peter Biziou. And a failure because the entire exercise is hopelessly dour, loyal to the bleak themes and psychological torment of Roger Waters's great musical opus, and yet utterly devoid of the humor that Waters certainly found in his own material. Any attempt to visualize The Wall would be fraught with artistic danger, and Parker succumbs to his own self-importance, creating a film that's as fascinating as it is flawed. The film is, for better and worse, the fruit of three artists in conflict--Parker indulging himself, and Waters in league with designer Gerald Scarfe, whose brilliant animated sequences suggest that he should have directed and animated this film in its entirety. Fortunately, this clash of talent and ego does not prevent The Wall from being a mesmerizing film. Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof (in his screen debut) is a fine choice to play Waters's alter ego--an alienated, 'comfortably numb' rock star whose psychosis manifests itself as an emotional (and symbolically physical) wall between himself and the cold, cruel world. Weaving Waters's autobiographical details into his own jumbled vision, Parker ultimately fails to combine a narrative thread with experimental structure. It's a rich, bizarre, and often astonishing film that will continue to draw a following, but the real source of genius remains the music of Roger Waters. --Jeff Shannon Say what you will about Alan Parker's film of Pink Floyd: The Wall, but this is a great DVD in terms of supplemental material. In addition to a promotional featurette from 1982, a two-part retrospective documentary will prove fascinating for Pink Floyd loyalists. In a rare and insightful interview, Roger Waters discusses the autobiographical inspirations for his musical masterpiece, and equally interesting observations are made by director Alan Parker, animator-designer Gerald Scarfe, cinematographer Peter Biziou, and producer Alan Marshall. The audio commentary by Waters and Scarfe adds depth to their documentary interviews. In terms of its sound and image quality, the DVD is totally awesome, particularly in the Dolby Digital 5.1 configuration, which is even more impressive than Pink Floyd's original album. Screen menus are cleverly designed to cater to Pink Floyd fans (with appropriate titles such as 'A Saucerful of Features,' etc.), and all the bonus features combine to form a comprehensive record of this troubled but fascinating production. For Pink Floyd fans, this is clearly a must-have DVD. --Jeff Shannon Customers who bought this item also bought Pink Floyd - Pulse The Wall (Deluxe Packaging Digitally Remastered) Roger Waters - The Wall (Live in Berlin) Classic Albums: The Making of The Dark Side of the Moon Tommy Customer Reviews for: Pink Floyd - The Wall Rating - Sharing I wanted to share this movie with my son who loves The Wall audio cd. He seems to appreciate it. Rating - A Classic I have watched this 20 or more times over the last 25 years. I never grow bored with it. It was a soundtrack for my teenage alienation. Absolutely brilliant. Rating - sweet Forget that the film is a classic. This is a favorite of mine for what comes with it, and the beautiful artwork on the discs...If your a Floydian Overlord then this is a must have or you can't pop bubbles backwards while standing, giggling and smiling, really trying to let go... Rating - I hate Pink Floyd, but I dig the movie I have never liked Pink Floyd's music- You know, maybe 2 or 3 songs, but otherwise I can't stand them- However, this movie is really something special. It's creative, and it's mind boggling. I'd suggest picking it up just based on the fact of its trippy nature. Any fans of art/sci fi/sick stuff, will definitely enjoy this movie. So watch it. Rating - A not too bad third telling of Pink Floyd's magnum opus The film version of Pink Floyd's The Wall was released in August of 1982. The movie did fairly well at the box office. It initially grossed $23 million which was alot of money back in 1982 considering it was competing against films like E.T., Rocky III and the first Poltergeist. I first saw the movie when my father rented this movie for me when I was 9 (I am not joking folks, this was in September, 1985 as I had been a fan for quite some time by then). It is still a great film even today though some say too ...
