Pink Floyd: The Story of Wish You Were Here (2012)
Great Insight into the Making of A Classic Album
6 March 2015 - 4 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
I idolized these musicians as a teenager, and decades later it's nice to see that these guys are indeed bright and sensitive people. We get a good feel for what they went through when Syd Barrett became mentally ill and what happened when he visited Abbey Road Studios 7 years later. The film also gives us insight into how they struggled to link the songs thematically; we learn how a few rifts from Gilmour's imagination inspired the others to finish composing the tracks; and we even get an interpretation of Wish You Were Here's lyrics. Every interview feels unscripted. When the sound manager walks into the studio, I think he really is walking in there for the fist time in a while.
