I saw that there weren't any reviews when I looked the title up myself. I don't know what I was looking for.
I am making reference to a twin DVD set as this is the only way I've seen this. More of a case of, I've heard this, rather than seen. The visuals are good though. The transfer to video motion is smooth and very film-like especially in the close-ups where every bead of sweat glistens in the stage lighting.
The light show is essential to the performance and is well integrated and especially notable in Siamese Twins, the fourth track on disc 1, where bassist Simon Gallup careens about the stage stalking through the fog and intense spotlights that have an eerie yellow tinge, reminiscent of a scene from Apocalypse Now with that bass of his looking more like a menacing machine gun than a musical instrument.
As for the audio on this set I ended up listening to it in Dolby 3 Stereo after trying out the first few songs in 2CH PCM as was provided. Dolby 5.1 Surround is there and although well recorded it lacks the presence of the native PCM track which is in stereo. I measured the sound pressure levels while switching from 5.1 to 2.0 and although the meter showed the loudness to be the same the difference was immediately obvious as the performers seemed to have taken a half a step back from their microphones and turned their guitars up a bit. To get the "in your face" sound and volume this was meant to be heard at you'll need the rawness and brutality of the stereo track without the fancy frills from the mixing panel that seem to have been introduced into the 5.1 track. If your AV Unit can do it, try up mixing the 2CH into 5 Channel Stereo and that should send some good news down to your subwoofer as well. Well it did on mine. I'm not a Hi-Fi reviewer or anything so I can't actually say anything like that, officially so to speak. All I can do is tell you what happened to me.
Right from the start you know this concert is going to be good. Every note that Robert Smith extracts from that tortured guitar of his can be heard as clear as. This is particularly noticeable with his signature endings where he plays around with those squeaky notes of his that aren't quite there. His fingering and mucking about with the notes looking for some right ones come through crystal clear in this recording. Maybe Germany and it's recording prowess has got something to do with it. Back when vinyl ruled Deutsche Grammophon was THE name to get.
I can't give this 10 out of 10 because although the script, screenplay, set design, costumes, direction and performances were all first rate I think the plot was a little weak so it will have to be 9.

This is an entertaining combination of "real life drama" and a superb comic book detective story woven together by the fervent imagination of a man suffering acute pain from his terminal cancer. Turning his mind to these thoughts takes him away from personal pain and transmits it to the character in his fabulously standard format PI Show. Made up from the real events in his own life inserting the actual people who surround him in real life into the roles of the characters in his make-believe life that he escapes to. This world of fantasy is black and white. A dying man seeing absolutes.
As for the movie itself I thought some acting could have been better in the real world parts as opposed to the make-believe world which was meant to be cheesy. But it wasn't bad enough to spoil a good entertaining show that you wouldn't be worried about putting on to watch with your gran and I can't recall any swearing either. So there probably wasn't a lot. Must watch it again one day soon.

Like another who commented, I forgot at times that I was watching a movie. The acting just doesn't get noticed and you feel you are watching a real live tape someone is making of their last eight months of life.
I first mistook the title for Wilt and for a brief moment thought this was going to be a re-release and of course it is not but there is a similarity with the two leads playing the parts of Professors of English and their corrections of the words used by their respective interviewers; one being the doctor telling his patient that the disease that has entered her body has a personality, and that it is crafty and treacherous and is proceeding secretly and subtly in the execution of her demise, by his use of the word insidious; the other being a detective who uses the word imply when he really needs to use infer instead and this too is pointed out by that professor. Both concentrating on the abstract while the real maelstrom of what has just hit them is raging in their heads. One, impending death, the other, doom.
I've watched and reviewed 224 movies since the 12th of December last year and this along with Rain (2001/111)(NZ) were the only ones to rate 9/10 for me. Queen Margot and Snow Falling on Cedars got a nine one year and Pulp Fiction did in it's day too but this is a rare gem of a movie and I'm really glad to have seen it.
