Pink Floyd: The Wall
Pink Floyd: The Wall ★★½ 1982 (R)
Film version of Pink Floyd's 1979 LP, “The Wall.” A surreal, impressionistic tour-deforce about a boy who grows up numb from society's pressures. The concept is bombastic and overwrought, but Geldof manages to remain somewhat like-able as the cynical rock star and the Gerald Scarfe animation perfectly complements the film. 95m/C VHS, DVD . GB Bob Geldof, Christine Hargreaves, Bob Hoskins, James Laurenson, Eleanor David, Kevin McKeon, David Bingham, Jenny Wright, Alex McAvoy, Nell Campbell, Joanne Whalley; D: Alan Parker; W: Roger Waters; C: Peter Biziou; M: Michael Kamen, David Gilmour, Roger Waters.
