Synopsis
Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII, the groundbreaking 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben, returns to theaters, now digitally re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm footage with enhanced audio. Set in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy, the film captures Pink Floyd performing an intimate concert without an audience. Filmed in October 1971, the performance features unforgettable tracks such as "Echoes," "A Saucerful of Secrets," and "One of These Days." The breathtaking visuals of the amphitheater, captured both day and night, amplify the magic of the performance, creating a unique and immersive experience. Additionally, the film includes rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the band working on The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. This meticulous restoration delivers stunning image and sound quality, featuring a theatrical and home entertainment mix from Steven Wilson in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos. These upgrades enhance the film's depth and clarity while preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 release. Inspired by the golden warmth of Pompeii's iconic setting, the remaster transforms this timeless piece into a masterpiece of sight and sound. Experience Pink Floyd like never before through this pioneering audio-visual remaster!

The 4K restoration is so crisp I could see the exact moment Roger Waters stares into the distance like he’s already planning to sue his bandmates in 20 years.
Uri LiahaffFeb 9, 2020I watched this on Pornhub, and I think that made the experience even better than it already was.
ZerexNov 17, 2020I like to imagine that as the ash clouds engulfed the petrified people of Pompeii, they glimpsed their untimely burial, their eventual excavation, and then, a psychedelic rock concert.

Beautiful clean footage. Great sound. Please remaster The Wall next.

One for the fans, perhaps, and a vivid Gradiva-esque glimpse of the past.
