ReplyDeleteLonger than a music video, shorter than a feature film, this is essentially a short film version of Pink Floyd's album "The Final Cut".
As such, the visual material is much the same as a music video (this was made in the crazy early days of MTV, after all), but this covers four songs, in a continuous, unified way.
ReplyDeleteThe Final Cut was accompanied by a short film. It features the songs "The Gunner's Dream", "The Final Cut", "The Fletcher Memorial Home" and "Not Now John".
Produced and written by Waters and directed by his brother-in-law Willie Christie, it features Waters talking to a psychiatrist named A. Parker-Marshall. The character name was meant to be a dig at both Pink Floyd: The Wall director Alan Parker and Alan Marshall, the film's producer.
Alex McAvoy, who played the teacher in Pink Floyd – The Wall, also appears.
The film was released on Betamax and VHS in July 1983 and was one of EMI's first "video EPs".
