PINK FLOYD: THE WALL is loosely based on the life story of Syd Barrett, Pink Floyd's original frontman (who was kicked out of the band for his bizarre and disturbing behavior, only to lose his mind soon after) and stars Bob Geldof as Pink, a mentally ill man who transforms from a hopeful child artist into a burnt-out, alienated rock star. As Pink rots in his hotel room, elements of his abusive childhood return to haunt him until he descends into absolute madness.Alan Parker's intense and fully realized cinematic interpretation of English band THE WALL's classic album combines whimsical fantasy with the dark drama of Shakespeare. The film makes innovative use of sets, costumes and special effects, creating a unique and surreal strangeness worthy of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí's AN ANDALUSIAN DOG. Both haunting and stunning, PINK FLOYD: THE WALL is a must for any music lover.
