Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, the iconic 1972 film directed by Adrian Maben, returns to cinemas, newly re-mastered in 4K from the original 35mm film with upgraded audio.

Filmed in the haunting ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy, the film captures Pink Floyd performing an intimate, audience-free concert. Shot in October 1971, the setlist includes unforgettable tracks like “Echoes,” “A Saucerful of Secrets,” and “One of These Days.” The amphitheater’s breathtaking scenery — captured both by day and night — amplifies the concert’s otherworldly atmosphere, creating an immersive visual and sonic experience. The film also offers rare behind-the-scenes footage of the band crafting The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios.

This meticulous restoration, led by Lana Topham, presents stunning new visuals and sound, with a theatrical and home entertainment mix by Steven Wilson in 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos. These enhancements bring fresh depth and clarity to the film while preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original 1972 version. Inspired by the golden tones of Pompeii’s ancient landscape, the remaster elevates this landmark film into an even more spectacular sensory experience. Discover Pink Floyd like never before with this groundbreaking audio-visual revival.

It’s on screen since 24th April and is shown at the legendary Battersea Power Station, featured on the band’s ‘Animals’ album as the cover.
