Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)

A fascinating look at THE company behind so many album covers (and more) from the 70s into the 80s - back in the day when the cover was the first impression a potential buyer had of an album. Really enjoy the "peek behind the covers" at the work and planning that went on with the team and all the incredible musicians they worked with. Not to mention all the stories, so many stories of "back in the day" - a real treat. So glad this documentary was recommended!

SQUARING THE CIRCLE takes a straight-ahead documentary approach to the twisty tale of innovative album art design studio Hipgnosis, whose iconic work is still influential today. It's also an insightful look into the evolving music and pop culture industry of an incredible era. Shine on!

Great movie about a unique moment in music history. So many massive groups with unlimited budgets enabling the Hipgnosis team to really let their imaginations run riot.

I've always loved Storm's and Po's artwork for Pink Floyd, and the pineapple thief, and muse. I had no idea they did the art for Led Zeppelin, and Peter Gabriel etc. amazing documentary, and inspiring. It rekindled my childhood passion for these bands.

Interesting. Record and a sleeve worth seeing if interested in music packaging in 60 and 70s

If you appreciate music and art, it's a must see.

Great Music, Interesting Stories.

if you love 70's classic rock, this is a must see. a beautiful slice of 70's culture, represented by the people that lived through it and survived to tell the story.

What a gift of art and music history! I grew up on this music and looking at these covers not knowing what was behind them. Great telling of the creative genius and interpersonal relationships that delivered art in the most unique way! There were funny, sad and poignant stories aplenty! So glad to enjoy the theater showing.

The film was a quite good dive into the formation, work, and demise of Hipgnosis and featured great interviews with many surviving members of the bands they worked with, and a few personalities they didn't. I would've gone higher, except I got the feeling they didn't quite know how to end it.
