    This dvd comes with a widescreen directors cut and the original short 4:3 film.
    The film was originally released on video years ago as a long version and a short version. Until now, I'd never seen the short version so maybe it was only released in Europe. The short feature doesn't have any interviews with the band or shots of the band recording dark side of the moon. And the long version (not included here and probably the one you rented from your local video store years ago) was intercut with all the extra scenes.
    The included directors cut is similiar to the original long version but has been rebuilt from ground up. It contains all the original scenes, interviews plus lots of weird scenes of moons revolving around strange planets, space ships taking off, plus new footage of Pompeii, etc.
    Most people have never seen the original short or the directors cut. And like a lot of purists here I watched the original short verson first and of course my first observation was the lack of scenes like Nick Mason complaining about the crust on his apple pie. I didn't mind the lack of interviews and such, and frankly, the original short plays just great the way it is. It sticks to the Pompeii theme and I like that a lot.
    As a bonus the directors cut also includes some extra interviews which have never been previously released. There is one very funny scene of a very stoned Roger Waters giving the director a very hard time during an interview. It also contains new footage of Pompeii plus lots of scenes of space ships taking off, and moons revolving around strange alien planets. It's kinda weird and you may not like it much at first, but it certainly grows on you and it was all done very well.
    So my advice would be, if you're a purist, stick to the original short and then simply skip through the directors cut to see the interviews and studio scenes.
    And also, the sound quality is just fantastic and the video quality will just blow your socks off. It's just that good. It's amazing considering the original negatives have all been lost. And last but not least, the director Adrian Maben interview is also very interesting. All and all, the entire package is simply fantastic and for the price of about $16, you'd have to be crazy not to get one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good quality

    I own the VHS, but no longer own a VCR. I was searching for a Blu-ray version, but it doesn't exist. The director says during the interview on the DVD that all the original materials (negatives) are lost (!!!) which is a huge shame - probably should not expect a high quality Blu-ray version...

    The DVD upscaled on my 4K TV looked surprisingly good - much better than the HD stuff on Youtube.

    Content-wise, this is such a special film, such a special event, and such a special portrayal of the band at a key point in the history of their development. I would even go so far to say that this film captures a key point of development in the evolution of the human race, as we embrace technology as a huge component of the human experience, and do so in the shadow of ancient history & technology in the form of the forum at Pompeii...

    The director also says during his interview that the in-studio stuff with the 70's rear-projection technology is the least successful component of the film, and he's right, but he also says that pretty much all the usable recordings from "The Floyd" playing at Pompeii is already included. This means the film would be very short without these Paris recordings, and I don't mind how they're interspersed with the on-location footage.

    The slow-pan & zoom shots of the forum with the Floyd rocking out, together with (I think it's Waters' silhouette) banging on the gong along with the high-tech/low-tech Floyd theme of the 1970's is a gorgeous juxtaposition and surprisingly relevant to this moment (2020).

    An excellent film if you like their early music, up to Dark Side (which I do.) The location is breathtaking and several songs are just outstanding! I would highly recommend, it's great!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Added CGI, and it's a "Director's Cut"
    Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2022

    All in all it is Pink Floyd. Unfortunately, the introduction is far from the dramatic presentation of the original broadcast special. I had a copy of that on VHS. There is something about the old style of filming that landed such a creepy drama to the original introduction. That intro has been replaced by some cheesy CHI, and a weirdly long portrait of David Gilmore in the studio- just cheesy. The new introduction definitely lacks the Anti-Woodstock vibe, and the notion that nothing is permanent: nature takes back what it provides mankind to build his monuments of ego. It was the original imagery that conveyed this message so well, Thankfully that notion was preserved in the opening skull mosaic, at the beginning of "Careful With That Axe Eugene". I just can't get over the opening of the feature, and how the imagery during "Echoes" was so crassly butchered.

    However, go to "features", and select "original concert". This is how one can watch the original feature show- unadulterated, in all of its artistic genius.

    Yeah, you CAN watch most of this via Youtube, but it's still fun to see the guys "excitedly" run around looking at bubbling mud~ but too much celluloid devoted to Roger speaking with his mouth full and smoking!

    The interview with the director was interesting, as no one ever realizes just how long it takes to get from "idea" to "in the can," nor does anyone think about delays like the electrical issues (I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS AND RESOLVED IT BEFORE IT HAPPENED!!!! lol!), and honestly, with only really having 3 days of filming in Pompeii, they did a fine job.

    It was worth the purchase price! If you are a fan of The Pink Floyd, you should definitely add this to your collection!

    Gillar inte den nya directors cut utan den gamla filmen. Dock finns originalet med i meny. Coolt när dom står och lirar i den gamla teatern och bilderna från vesuvius. Dock så får man ta med i beräkningen att PF vid den här tiden var som dom var. Mästerverk blandat med olyssningsbart oljud. Som t.ex Saucerful of secrets som är snudd på olyssningsbar. Men inledningen med Echoes part 1 är helt magisk. Som sagt, högt och lågt.
