Classic DVD Review: Pink Floyd | The Wall Movie

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


I realize I’m probably in the minority on this one, but for me, the movie of Roger Waters’ dark, dour, semi-autobiographical concept album The Wall is so sluggish and relentlessly depressing that it’s nearly unwatchable.

For those who see it differently, good news: It’s back in a new limited-edition DVD. All in all, you get a hi-def film transfer, a vintage 25-minute documentary, a new 45-minute retrospective with interviews, and the usual trailers and still photos. Not that any of it makes the movie any more watchable for me.
