Ahead of the anticipated release of the new documentary Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, we have an exclusive clip to provide an early sneak peek. From Mercury Studios, Believe Media, and A Cat Called Rover, the doc sheds some new light on the tumultuous history of the legendary rock band Pink Floyd and one of its founding members, Syd Barrett, which resulted in his eventual removal from the group. You can watch our clip of the film below ahead of its release in select theaters.
Per the synopsis:
“Syd and Pink Floyd crystallized a cultural moment where anything seemed possible but where that freedom could come with a cost. Was Syd just another drug casualty? Did he suffer from an undiagnosed mental condition? Or did he dislike the attention and fame as the fun turned to work? While there are no clear answers which might be the case, there is the feeling by all those around Syd that something went terribly wrong. Have You Got it Yet? is a chronicle and a mosaic of Barrett’s creative and destructive impulses, his captivating presence and absence – a portrait of the complex puzzle that was his life.”
The anticipated documentary is narrated by Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, The Patriot). It features interviews with David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters, as well as original band managers Peter Jenner and Andrew King. Other special guests featured for all-new interviews include Pete Townshend of The Who, Graham Coxon of Blur, The Great British Baking Show star Noel Fielding, and more.
