MOVIE REVIEW: Bio-doc of psych rock pioneer Syd Barrett leaves his later obscurity suitably untouched.
– and he died in 2013. Of course, it helps that Thorgerson and Barrett were childhood friends, opening up the designer's address book for every school friend, lover, and collaborator, including the three surviving members of Pink Floyd: Dave Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Nick Mason.is as exhaustive a study of Barrett as possible. It does suffer from the flaw that affects so many biographical documentaries, that the subject is somehow unique.
What Bogawa and Thorgerson really note – and as one of Barrett's exes explains bluntly – is that the idea that success was too much for Barrett and he cracked under the strain is simplistic. Instead, he sabotages the band and then self-sabotages. If promising young artist Roger Barrett hadn't assumed the persona of Syd Barrett, there would be no Pink Floyd – at least not as the importantly disciplined stadium band that they became.
Fans may feel frustrated that there's very little of Barrett's post-Floyd life, but that's not a sin of omission by: There just isn't that much to tell. Maybe that's who the real Syd Barrett was – an enigma who was arguably as significant in his absence as he was when present.
