Why did they do the Wall with Bob Geldof when they could do this? This is a wonderful mixture of live concert, abstract animation and a documentary of the deaths of Waters father and grandfather. The music matching the context well and winding in a coherent plot. The personal losses of 2 wars are hardly new genres but refreshingly blunt. A great film for all Floyd fans.
Wonderful music, excellent graphics and concert projections and a well measured back story , detailing the sad loss of Rogers Grandfather in the first World War and his Father in the second.
To my surprise, I found this dated and tedious, and kept nodding off. The audience on the film had a great time, but I didn't. The best bits were the projections and stage work.
