Preview Plot: By any rational measure, Alan Parker's cinematic interpretation of Pink Floyd: The Wall is a glorious failure. Glorious because its imagery is hypnotically striking, frequently resonant, and s...( read more read more... )

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

    this is the first time i have actually been able to visualize as vividly in my mind, over 24 yrs later, the film, scene by scene... the animation was absolutely incredible, and if you are (as I am) a pink floyd fan this is the most interesting blend of music and animation i have ever seen. my mom and dad, believe it or not, saw this with me when it first came out... being psychiatric nurses they found it riveting on many levels, it certainly led to some interesting discussions! good stuff.

    Both exhilerating and disturbing. It makes visual the saga of the whole album, plus adds some music not on the release. It's again a classic. My mum liked the animated court scene the best, with the judge portrayed as a sphincter with legs.

    One of the greatest cult films from the early 1980's and for good reason....Pink Floyd were the kings of British rock and roll.

    I know somewhere they have this showing at your neighborhood cimema during a midnight screening or somewhere on college campuses too.
