The Wall (1982 film)

*The Wall* (1982), directed by Alan Parker, is a psychological drama inspired by Pink Floyd’s concept album. It follows a troubled rock star named Pink, who isolates himself behind a metaphorical and literal wall built from traumatic life experiences, including war, loss, and betrayal. The film explores themes of alienation, mental illness, and the impact of past scars on identity. Using surreal imagery and intense musical sequences, it portrays Pink’s descent into emotional confinement and his struggle for self-understanding amid chaos and memories. It's an evocative meditation on trauma, isolation, and the search for connection.
