Hmmm
I'm generally a Floyd fan. I doubt I'll see the flick. I only care about the music and the sometimes good lyrics of bands/musicians. Sometimes they do good or incredibaly stupid stand alone things out of their musical realm. But I don't attach those things to the music.
A movie like this would be sort of meaningless to me. Music is like any art. It stands alone. It meets you as a stranger. It is as much you as it is itself. The artist made it, put themselves into it at the moment, then moved on. It is only a minute chance that you, the art and the artist were ever in the same place. The picture on your wall is only the same picture as yesterday, if you are the same person as yesterday.
Syd Barret, as far as I know, never did much else that I, or most people have experienced. I suspect the whole flic will be an investigation of artistic madness. And how to judge the merit of that performance?
