I will be at The Watershed on Tuesday 18th July. Would normally have gone to the Picturehouse at Exeter but since the official 'Squaring The Circle' website only details one screening on 25th but, to confuse the punters, the Picturehouse is listing only 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' on that date (to be on the safe side I'll travel to Bristol).

:D

Good news for UK/Ireland (free shipping), and those able to play Region 2/B, the movie is available for pre-order on DVD and Blu-ray -

I have seen the movie at a local 'art house' cinema and it is very good. The 5.1 sound (maybe even ATMOS) is impressive and the movie has an excellent soundtrack throughout and a lot of it is Pink Floyd. Good to see Egerton Court and hear the story about the filming of 'Repulsion' (odd that the trivia reference is not listed on IMDb). There is some clever use of black & white images to mesh Gilmour and Waters interviews together.

The movie has an end credit "no cows, pigs or sheep were harmed in the making of this production".

This is on Netflix now. I'm only six minutes in and already there has been large amounts of PF content and music and both Dave and Rog being interviewed.

Impressed that the film is by Anton Corbijin.
