Every aspect, angle, illusions, their famous reverbs and sounds abound. Truly an experience of sound.
Watching the "Wall" slowly build as the music flowed was great to see. I can only imagine what it would have been like in person. Then to watch it tumble down at the end was mind-blowing. I wish I owned a copy of the video on DVD to watch and listen to as many times as I wanted to.
One might criticize this film (and the live show) as pretentious, over-the-top, depressing, or any number of other things, but it is undeniably a HUGE artistic production and accomplishment. If you enjoy(ed) the album (i.e., Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'), then I highly recommend this film. You not only get to hear the music performed nearly flawlessly by its principal creator and a hand-picked bunch of cracking musicians, but you get to view a spectacle of truly epic proportions to boot. This necessarily means that you don't get to watch the musicians the whole time (like you would on most great concert video recordings... remember that this is NOT just a concert). In my opinion, this is NOT a flaw of the film, but rather an asset. While watching players play is usually the "raison de etre", this is not the case here... the players become more and more hidden by the wall being built as the show progresses, and this is a major part of the production. No stage production of this magnitude exists anywhere else, and it literally has to be seen to be believed! In this case (and perhaps only in this case), the "show" eclipses the players (intentionally and very successfully). The size and scale of the show is absolutely enormous, and for this reason, among others, the production (including the shots on the road and elsewhere) is worthy of a film (hence the film).
Last but not least, the quality of everything is superb... the video production, the editing, the sound, the mixing, the musicianship, the stage production... everything. The content is a little dark, (to say the least, hence the R rating), but if you are not put off by it (most fans of The Wall clearly are not), then it's well worth the ride.
For those who saw Roger's "The Wall Live" tour and hope to re-live that experience with this film, you will probably be only partially satisfied. This is not a straightforward filmed document of the live show. Rather it is a visual essay of Roger's personal grief interspersed between extended segments of the live show. Sometimes the camera faces the stage and gives you the audience POV, sometimes the camera is on the stage in and around the band members, and sometimes the camera lingers on the audience members -- far too often and for far too long, if you ask me. *An interesting thing about some of the audience footage -- most of the fans sing along (of course), but much of the film was shot in Canada where English is not the sole primary language. You have non-native-English speakers mouthing the words and you can see the odd contortions their mouths make trying to make the "unusual" sounds.
With all due respect to Roger Waters and his personal journey to come to terms with his grief over losing his father in WWII, I believe the off-stage travelogue takes up far too much screen time. It interrupts the flow of the concert. Make no mistake -- this film is about Roger, not the live concert. Fans of "The Wall" don't necessarily need or want to delve so deeply into the nuts and bolts of what pains Roger Waters personally. After 35 years of listening to the album, watching the 1982 film, and reading about the concept behind them, we get it already. At the end of the day, I think most of us just enjoy the music and bring our own joys and demons to the message behind it. But with this too-personal film, we are asked to experience it primarily on HIS level, not our own.
Not gonna lie: I wanted a straight-forward filmed souvenir of the concert experience I enjoyed the three times I saw the show live. When I read last year that the eventual release on home video would include snippets of Roger's travels on the healing road, I had no idea there would be so many of them and take up so much time. Granted, without those extra segments the concert video would run pretty short -- pretty much just the length of the album. So I guess I can live with a LITTLE padding here and there. But in my opinion it is just too much and too frequent.
The concert itself has an intermission. So if Roger needed to include his travel videos in the film, perhaps he could have opened the movie with a short segment, added some more during the break in the concert, and then tacked on some at the end as a coda. Instead, the movie includes several more breaks in the action in addition to those.
As for Roger's travelogue video: so we don't have to listen to him muttering to himself or an extended voice-over, he takes one of his buddies along for the ride with him for much of the trip. So we get to listen to them converse about things that are of utmost importance to them but not necessarily for the average Pink Floyd fan who just wants to relive the concert (or see it for the first time). It's almost as if the concert itself is secondary, an afterthought.
The concert itself, if you managed to see it in person, was a visual spectacle. I saw it three times and I enjoyed it from the middle of the arena more than I did when my ticket was in the 3rd row. The stage and visuals are so large and magnificent that one simply must be positioned a sufficient distance from the stage to take it all in. Much of the magic is lost when you're too close to the stage. For home viewing, one wants the optimum vantage point. But you only get a taste of that in this film. Especially lacking is the benefit of a good vantage point for the interesting stage visuals during "Empty Spaces", "The Last Few Bricks", "One of My Turns/Don't Leave Me Now" and "Hey You". And the film cuts away from the "money shot" in "Empty Spaces" that we're all familiar with from Gerald Scarfe's animation. The film is already rated "R", so I don't understand the coyness.
So bear in mind that this film was not designed with the average fan in mind. It was designed to be a cathartic experience for Roger and we have just been invited to tag along. Is it worth watching? Absolutely. No question. Is it a little more than you bargained for? Perhaps.
In short (or is it too late for short?): if you didn't see the tour in person, this documentary will give you a less-than-ideal view of what you missed. If you DID attend the tour, this documentary will give you a less-than-ideal souvenir of the show.
One of the promised bonus features is a clip from the tour when David Gilmour guested on "Comfortably Numb". If it's the same performance as his guest appearance in London at the O2 arena [edit: it is], bear in mind that Gilmour flubbed the lyrics and his guitar solo was rather unremarkable. Embarrassing for Gilmour, but probably satisfying for Waters.
I suppose that in time I might get past my disappointment that this isn't a straight-forward concert film and instead enjoy and appreciate this documentary film for what it is: a portrait of a man's catharsis set against the background of a large-scale artistic endeavor. In fact I hope I will. This is a gorgeously-shot film no matter how you perceive it. But still believe the non-concert narrative could have used a little tightening.
Among the bonus goodies (at least on the Blu-ray) are time lapse videos of the stage being set up in Greece and South America. It's interesting to see how long it actually took to do it. And there are nearly 2 dozen Facebook videos of varying lengths featuring various aspects of staging the show and/or Roger's comments about celebrity, culture, etc. Those are worth a look, for sure.
No denying the stage show was awesome and a spectacular logistical achievement. But you won't get an uninterrupted viewing of the concert experience, if that's what you are hoping for.

DISCO1
El concierto grabado escogiendo tomas realizadas en Buenos Aires y en Grecia (Estas últimas grabadas a puerta cerrada. Lo podéis ver en los Time lapse incluidos en los extras del segundo disco)
Siendo, bajo mi opinión "El muro" el disco de los Floyd de su época "monumental" uno de los discos más sobrevalorados de la banda, esta puesta en escena moderna, se limpia de las partes aburridas del disco (Que son demasiadas) Y es que este disco, está hecho para ser tocado en directo con un despliegue de medios de este calibre (Y no el que tenían en la puesta en escena de 1980)
Los capítulos del concierto se solapan con una especie de cortometraje reflexivo de la obsesión malsana que tiene Waters con la muerte de su padre y que al final acabó siendo una rémora que dio fin a su permanencia en el grupo. Wright, Mason y Gilmour se pillaron las de Villadiego y dejaron que Waters se siguiera revolcando en sus miserias.
El cortometraje, se solapa como digo con las actuaciones en directo con bastante acierto, pero creo que hubiera sido más práctico incluir también el concierto íntegro sin las parras de Waters, y poner también estas por separado, de modo y manera que si quisieras ver solo el concierto, no tuvieras que ir saltando capítulos.
He de decir que el cortometraje, aunque bien realizado, me parece bastante infumable, (Digo cortometraje, porque parece mucho más una película / dramón / experimental que un documental. Ya que no es un documental al uso, sino una suerte de road-movie de cine independiente de esas que llevas al Festival Sundance. Así que.., prescindible.
DISCO 2
1. Una visita a Frank Thompson - Cortometraje de la visita al monumento a este soldado caído (Waters a lo suyo)
2. Time Lapse - De la construcción de los escenarios en Grecia y en Buenos Aires
3. Dos temas en directo en el O2 con Gilmour interpretando Comfortably Numb y con Mason agitando una pandereta (Da la impresión de ser un jubilado incómodo en un sitio en el que no quiere estar)
4. Tomas descartadas del cortometraje de Waters
5. Peliculas de Facebook - Publicaciones que se fueron haciendo en facebook a lo largo de la gira (Hay un montón y algunas son realmente interesantes)
La nota negativa: Se incluyen subtítulos en castellano pero solo durante los capítulos del cortometraje. Durante el concierto se desactivan (Mojón, pero mojón, mojón) Sin embargo,s i que puedes activar los subtítulos en Ingles durante todo el metraje (Cortometraje y concierto).
Bueno, que por 5 miserables euros no voy a poner pegas.
Bon autant le dire tout de suite, j'écoutais en boucle l'album sur mon électrophone quand il est sorti, je devais avoir 11 ans, et ça m'a bien aidé psychologiquement pendant cette période. Ce n'est que bien plus tard que je devenu fan de Pink Floyd, j'étais avant tout fan de The Wall et surtout de ses paroles, donc de Roger Waters.
J'ai longtemps hésité à acheter ce BR car je trouvais ça "de la récup commerciale" de la part de Waters. Et puis c'est le concert original des Floyd que j'aurais voulu voir.
Quel bétise, que de temps perdu, car il n'en est rien : C'est un concert inouï qu'il a réalisé là, rendant hommage sans la moindre fausse note à The Wall et même au principe du concert original mais avec les moyens techniques d'aujourd'hui, ce qui sublime encore ce chef d'œuvre intemporel qu'est The Wall.
L'image du concert est sublime (et c'est toujours une gageure à filmer), les intermèdes qui suivent le pèlerinage de Waters vers la tombe de son père sont bien vus, beaux, et surtout avec un timing millimétré frisant la perfection. Moi qui a du mal à accrocher avec les concerts en BRD alors que j'ai une installation sonore très bonne et vidéopro, là je ne me suis pas ennuyé une seconde. Bon il faut dire aussi que je connais chaque titre par cœur et qu'ils me plaisent tous. Ca aide ;-) Mais même si vous n'appréciez que moyennement les Pink Floyd et/ou même si vous ne connaissez que très peu The Wall (et encore plus si vous ne le connaissez pas du tout !), il serait étonnant que vous ne soyez pas captivé jusqu'au bout. J'ai pourtant vu de nombreux concerts en BRD, mais un de ce niveau technique et avec autant de moyens, jamais. Digne héritier du concert original : La légende dit que le groupe perdait volontairement de l'argent à chaque concert parce qu'ils exigeaient que ce soit un évènement magistral, peu importe la notion de profit.
Concernant le son : Il est excellent certes et en Dolby Atmos (dégradé en Dolby Digital EX sur mon ampli qui a 10 ans en ce qui me concerne), contrairement au DTS-HD indiqué sur la jaquette, mais il auraient pu faire un effort pour travailler le multicanal. On a essentiellement en très bonne image stéréo, seul le processeur multicanal semble travailler un peu pour remplir un peu l'espace sonore en 7.1. Goodbye ;-)
