“This isn't the most fun to listen to and some viewers don't find it too much fun to watch, but the 1982 film is without question the best of all serious fiction films devoted to rock.” - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“The film is explosively wild, raw, primitive, sometimes inarticulate. It is also totally theatrical and compelling. It's filmed as a primal scream; seething with anger, alienation and despair.” - Bruce McCabe, Boston Globe

Presented in 35mm

In this visual riff on Pink Floyd's album "The Wall," successful but drugged-out musician Pink (Bob Geldof) is looking back on his isolated childhood from the confines of a Los Angeles hotel room. Through a swirl of flashbacks and chemical-induced hallucinations, Pink recalls his lonely upbringing, during which he built a symbolic wall to the world as he coped with the death of his father (James Laurenson) and the overbearing ways of his mother (Christine Hargreaves).
