About

Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII, the groundbreaking 1972 film directed by
Adrian Maben, returns to theaters, now digitally re-mastered in 4K from the
original 35mm footage with enhanced audio.

Set in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of the ancient Roman Amphitheater 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 breathtaking visuals of the amphitheater, 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!
