Format:Hardcover
I watched the film back in 1982 in a cinema in Worcester. The soundtrack was LOUD. I left the cinema awestruck. I was 14 and at the time had never seen a movie that dealt with such a strong alienation. I "loved" the film, with the music/images/hatred/animation. It shocked me. I had never seen scenes of war showing Brits suffer. Indeed, The Wall movie contains the cheery boys of the Dambusters. The film has remained my all time favourite ever since.
Now for this book. If like me you find the film a classic then you may wish to know some of the stories behind the album, concerts,film, Berlin 90 and the Tour 2010/11, but mostly the film.
Gerald Scarfe chats with Nick Mason, David Gilmour, Alan Parker and of course Roger Waters in turn. Jane Scarfe (Jane Asher) was involved with the writing and editing of this 258 page (slightly larger than A4) book. The book is lavish, with many rare pictures and drawings included.
If you are of a certain age then you may have seen "Arena - Scarfe on Scarfe" that only touched the surface of where this book goes.
Thanks, Gerald for such a wonderful book on one of the most brilliantly depressing albums / film / concert (I was front row for Berlin'90).
And well done on getting the others to add their comments to.
Thanx for reading.

Format:Hardcover
A lavish presentation on a turbulent period in the Pink Floyd story, while Gerald Scarfe has a long history with Pink Floyd it's 'The Wall' that he is most associated with.
Gerald Scarfe through anecdotes and the insight of being present sheds interesting light on the difficult times Pink Floyd (Roger Waters in particular) had making The Wall album and film, artistic endeavour and egos of three very strong personalities (Roger Waters, Gerald Scarfe and Alan Parker).
Packed full of high quality images from the film and art work associated with the Wall and some prior projects.
A must for Pink Floyd fans and makes a brilliant accompaniment to Nick Mason's book `Inside Out' on Pink Floyd also available on Amazon.

I was given the Hardback version for Christmas and as a huge Floyd fan was delighted to receive it. There is so much to look at and I had not realised how far back Scarfe went with Floyd. He sheds interesting light on the difficult times thay had making The Wall album and film. The quality of the images is brilliant. My fabourite present.
