Description

Wish You Were Here was released in September 1975 as the follow up to Dark Side Of The Moon - a pretty hard act to follow, but in many respects this amazing new album outshone its illustrious predecessor. Shine On You Crazy Diamond with its majestic introduction is arguably the finest recording in the entire Pink Floyd career. On this flawless album every track pulls its weight and the title track Wish You Were Here which was revived for Live 8 has gone on to achieve classic status . This is the long awaited critical review of the album featuring rare live performances by Pink Floyd alongside rare archive interviews with the band.

RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-17

If they intended to do the worst DVD in history they got it! This is a crime. These "experts" people are laughing at people that have bought this DVD and showing their teeth (English kind of teeth) and their hair cut Nosferatu's or Kojak's style to the world. This is an offense to this "great album", and the few appearances of the members of the band are unauthorized ones and the same stolen from "Classic album's DVD, that are great ones" and "Syd Barret's DVD, that is great either". Why Pink Floyd and mainly a real serious Roger Waters still permit that this kind of thing happens? Where is the respect we fans deserve?

Not bad, just not what I expected.......2007-01-19

The Dark Side of the Moon disc was much better. This one isn't done by the band, so the insight isn't was good as DSOTM. There are some brief interviews and comments from the band, but they are all from other sources.

Strange versions of some of the tunes, too. Definitely not by Pink Floyd.

Worth getting if you are a fan, just a little odd, that's all.

Wish it werent here in my home.......2007-01-10

I purchased this thinking it was a Pink Floyd concert. WRONG!
This is a pile of British blather about Floyd, and it's history. Evidently there was a rash of this which makes buying a real concert video such a chore.

In the name of the Lord STOP these Reviews.......2006-11-28

Amazon doesn't allow me to put zero stars, so that's why I HAD to put one star.

No vintage live performance of the band, just a small glimpse and useless portion of it. By the way, it's very hard to find material from WYWH and Animals period in an acceptable condition.

Interviews and comments should come from the people who actually lived the experience an were part of the story and not from Mostly Autumn members.

Wish you WEREN'T here........2006-09-09

As a Floyd fan, I was really dissapointed with the DVD. For the following reasons:

-I thought there would be interviews and concert footage, like KoRn's "Who Then Now?" but instead It was just interviews with people who call themself experts.

-You hardly see the band, except barely through the credits.

-They don't even use the band's real music, they just use cover bands to do the music.

-There's one dude who can't pronounce the names of Floyd songs. ("Astronime Dominie" instead of "Astronomy Domine", anyone?)

-Historical holes (They saw Syd after preforming the entire album live).

DO NOT BUY! IT IS A CHEAP RIPOFF AND A MISREPRESENTATION OF A CLASSIC ALBUM FROM A CLASSIC BAND!

Nice Legs.......2007-05-01

Nice little film, it's never clear exactly why Emily Lloyd turns out so daft. Okay, her mom died young, but the old man doesn't seem like such a bad bloke. It didn't add up for me.

Also this flick points out that under certain conditions a troubled girl will do it with anything on two legs.

Heartbreaking Warnings About The Truth of A Troubled Girl.......2006-04-17

Emily Lloyd won international acclaim for her role in this 1987 British film. A motherless teenager raised by a conservative and distant father embarks on an empty search for love in a sleepy coastal English town. A rebel without a cause, defiant, and mouthy, underneath it all is a girl so emotionally deprived and seeking nourishment in all the wrong places. An out-of-wedlock pregnancy solidifies her social pariah status in the community. Based on the British madam Cynthia Payne (the English version of Heidi Fleiss), this outstanding performance is a warning of how fast and deep a spiral reckless teenage girls can go to when they don't feel loved.

"I Got These At Marks and Spencer's".......2005-03-26

This is a gem of a picture that is well worth checking out primarily for the glowing performance of Emily Lloyd as Lynda Mansell, a teenager growing up in Post-war England who defies the staid coventions of her seaside town. Lynda is a young girl who on the surface cheerfully thumbs her nose at society by her outwardly outrageous behavior while internally nursing emotional wounds. Credit director-writer David Leland for intricately explaining the rationale for Lynda's behavior. This film also succeeds in evoking the mood and look of the period. I remember when this film came out that great things were envisioned for Lloyd. She appeared in the Bruce Willis film, "In Country" and "Killing Zoe" but seems to have disappeared. Here's hoping that she emerges on the scene again because she is immensely talented.

Defiant coming-of-age flick for girls.......2004-07-26

This film lends courage to girls who sometimes make bad choices. What's wonderful about the ending is that Emily Lloyd's character is still thumbing her nose at the repressed community around her. There's a certain triumph when she declares "yes it's mine, ALL mine" about her newborn baby. Instead of choosing to feel ashamed for having a child out of wedlock, she makes the absolute best of the situation. I highly recommend this film to anyone who has a soft spot in their heart for non-conformity.

ending ruins it. review includes spoilers........2004-05-18

This was a funny, high-spirited, literate film, but the ending was disgusting and ruined the film for me. Emily Lloyd's character Linda is self-centered, self-absorbed, desperate to be the center of attention at any cost. That's fine as a character study. But in the end she gets impregnated by a wretched, scum bag, dirty-old-man lech. And Linda has the baby, and now that she has total POWER over this baby since she's the poor thing's MOTHER, that's considered some sort of victorious happy ending!!! "I now have control of my fate, yippeee." No, she has control of that baby's fate, which is TRAGIC!! Linda is going to be the most wretched mother for that kid, being, as mentioned, self-centered and self-absorbed. Egomaniacs make terrible parents. And, as with Linda, it's often egomaniacs who want to be parents most, for the control it gives them over a human life. I've known kids with mothers like Linda, and they end up in rehab by age 14. And just on a genetic level, Linda's baby has a bad roll of the dice with the narcissistic mess that is Linda for a mother and that dirty sociopathic lech as its father.

The same ending would have been acceptable if its TONE had been one of TRAGEDY for the unfortunate baby. But to portray the outcome as a "victory" for Linda appalled me.

When I later learned that this film was based on the story of a notorious British madam named Cynthia Payne, who ran a house of ill repute for old-age pensioners and retired military men with kinky tastes, I was hardly surprised.

Product Description

Australia released, PAL/Region 4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. Languages: English (Dolby Digital 2.0) Synopsis: The British Wish You Were Here served as the auspicious film debut for 16-year-old Emily Lloyd. The scene is a British seaside community of the 1950s, where the local adults are shocked and embarrassed by the libertine Lynda (Lloyd), who dresses provocatively, behaves outrageously, and swears like a sailor (her favorite epithet is "Up your bum"). Lynda's mother is dead, and her father has given up trying to do anything with her. She attempts to hold down several jobs, but messes them all up through insolence and carelessness. Excessively promiscuous, Lynda has an affair with a middle-aged friend of her father's. She becomes pregnant, only to use her "fallen" state to gleefully shock and annoy her elders even more. Despite her bravado, there's an underlying sadness about Lynda: the title Wish You Were Here refers to her feelings concerning her late mother.
