The Grand Illusion

Cult icon, enigma, recluse... the life of Syd Barrett, founding member of Pink Floyd, is full of unanswered questions. Until now. Piecing together his comet-like rise to pop stardom, his creative and destructive impulses, breakdown, exit from the band and subsequent life alone, this feature-length documentary is set against the social context of the explosive sixties. Directed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis and award-winning director Roddy Bogawa, HAVE YOU GOT IY YET? also features new interviews with Syd’s friends, lovers, family and former bandmates Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and Nick Mason.

“CRITIC’S PICK! It’s as comprehensive and coherent an account of Barrett’s counterculture tragedy as one could hope for.” Glenn Kenny, The New York Times
