Pink Floyd's Iconic Pompeii Concert Film

Get ready for a cinematic and auditory treat, India! PVR INOX Pictures is bringing the legendary concert film, PINK FLOYD AT POMPEII – MCMLXXII, back to the silver screen for a fleeting two-day engagement on April 26th and 27th. This is your exclusive chance to witness the magic of Pink Floyd performing in the awe-inspiring ruins of Pompeii's ancient Roman Amphitheater.

Originally filmed in October 1971 by director Adrian Maben, this groundbreaking musical documentary captures the iconic quartet – David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright – delivering an intimate live performance without a live audience. Imagine the band's powerful sound echoing through the centuries-old stone, creating an atmosphere unlike any other concert film. The setlist features some of their most celebrated tracks, including the mesmerizing "Echoes," the psychedelic "A Saucerful of Secrets," and the powerful instrumental "One of These Days."

Now, this cinematic masterpiece has been meticulously re-mastered in stunning 4K resolution from the original 35mm footage, promising an unparalleled visual experience. Adding to this sensory feast, acclaimed sound engineer Steven Wilson has crafted enhanced audio mixes in both 5.1 surround sound and immersive Dolby Atmos. This upgrade will envelop you in the rich textures and nuances of Pink Floyd's sonic landscape, making you feel like you're right there in Pompeii.

Beyond the captivating concert footage, the film also offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes, showcasing the band's creative process at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios during the nascent stages of recording their magnum opus, The Dark Side of the Moon. The natural light and twilight of the Pompeii setting lend a surreal and timeless quality to the visuals, perfectly complementing the band's ethereal and powerful performance.

This limited theatrical release provides a unique opportunity for both long-time Pink Floyd enthusiasts and lovers of cinematic history to experience this iconic film as never before. Don't miss your chance to rediscover the music, revisit the legend, and relive the moment on the big screen. Mark your calendars for April 26th and 27th – this is an unmissable theatrical event exclusively in Indian cinemas.
