Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, the ground-breaking 1972 film directed
by Adrian Maben, returns to theatres, now digitally re-mastered in 4K from the
original 35mm footage with enhanced audio.
Set in the
hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre 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
breath-taking visuals of the amphitheatre, 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!
