Pink Floyd – The Wall

Based On “The Wall”

Pink Floyd – The Wall is a 1982 live-action/adult animated musical surrealist drama film directed by Alan Parker, based on Pink Floyd's 1979 studio album The Wall. The screenplay was written by Pink Floyd vocalist and bassist Roger Waters, with animation sequences directed by Gerald Scarfe. The Boomtown Rats' lead vocalist Bob Geldof made his film debut as rock star Pink, who, driven to neurosis by the pressures of stardom and traumatic events in his life, constructs an emotional and mental wall to protect himself. However, this coping mechanism eventually backfires, and Pink demands to be set free.
