For those who only wish to watch this movie for the Pink Floyd music

If you're wondering if this movie does indeed feature their songs, well yes it does. The most enjoyable moments are during the titles when they play Heartbeats and Pigmeats; and during the end, when they play Come In #51, Your Time Has Come which is a version of one of my all time favourite Floyd numbers: Careful With That Axe, Eugene. The movie is well worth watching for those 2 songs alone. However it is a pretty good movie too.

After watching La Vallee which does a lot of injustice to Obscured By Clouds, I wasn't expecting much from this movie either, but it is well worth it. There apparently are a few more Pink Floyd numbers thrown in along with those of other bands like The Greatful Dead; however the 2 songs mentioned above are the most notable ones. The visuals during Come In #51... are fantastic and complement the song perfectly.

Pretty good? Sounds a bit judgemental to me! ;) The movie just rocks.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. I like Antonioni movies but I mainly watched this for the PF music. But gosh, I was disappointed in the movie. I didn't think it would be that bad, and I usually like movies like that.

I can't understand your crazy moon language.

To be fair, I'd say it was worthwhile for the imagery as well. Yes, that's a given with Antonioni, but still...

However, as much as I kinda like this movie, I cannot defend the sex scene. Well, Jerry's playing is great.
