Pink Floyd: The Wall

“The Wall” is a treat for the retinas, a feature-length thrill of animated psychedelia and live-action drama. Depicting walking hammers, monstrous creatures, and apocalyptic visions each working to metaphorically represent existential concepts of war and fascism, Bob Geldof stars as a rock star building an internal and physical wall to block out the outside world. As Alan Parker stated, “It was like nothing anyone had ever seen before—a weird fusion of live-action, storytelling, and of the surreal.”
