"More" is an German-French production. A film written and directed by Barbet Schroeder. Production began in 1968, Released n August 4, 1969, More garnered mostly negative reviews from critics.
The film screenplay was written by Paul Gégauff and Barbet Schroeder with the original story by Schroeder. it deals with heroin addiction as drug fascination on the island of Ibiza, Spain. Schroeder's inspiration for the film came from the counterculture tradition of the 1960s with themes of drugs, addiction, sexual freedom and the beauty of life often in New Wave films. Real drugs were used in scenes showing the use of marijuana, heroin, and LSD.
Starring Mimsy Farmer and Klaus Grünberg,
Schroeder was a fan of Pink Floyd, and brought a rough cut of the film to London for them to work with.he director wanted the soundtrack to relate exactly to what was happening in the movie, rather than a film score backing the visuals.
It was recorded at Pye Studios in London, in late January and early February 1969 with engineer Brian Humphries. Produced by Pink Floyd without assistance from Norman Smith, who retained an executive producer credit, and the first full album without Syd Barrett, who had been ousted from the group in 1968, during the recording of their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets.
Pink Floyd
worked out most of the music in two weeks, with material put together quickly
and semi-improvised. Schroeder was impressed by how quickly the group created
and recorded the material. Roger Waters wrote most
of the lyrics during breaks between recording backing tracks. David Gilmour handled all lead vocals on the album. Mason
and keyboardist Richard Wright co-wrote the instrumental "Up The
Khyber", the only time the pair were credited as sole co-composers.
One song
written by Roger Waters can be heard in
the film which were not included on the album:Sea"Seabirds". it was
supposedly released in the 2016 box set, The Early Years 1965–1972. But no, it
still remains unpublished because The track called "Seabirds" in the
box set is not the original song, but an alternative take of "Quicksilver.
And it is believed that this song has actually been lost.
because, the teacher was lost during recording sound session for the film or
when it was returned was mislabeled and therefore not found.
