For his first non-concert documentary feature, director Anton Corbijn (Control) has turned to a subject he knows more about that virtually anyone else alive: album cover art. A longtime photographer, Corbijn has seen his work grace the covers of albums by artists including Depeche Mode, U2, R.E.M., Bruce Springsteen, and Cabaret Voltaire, among others. (That Joshua Tree cover? That's Anton Corbin!) In Squaring the Circle, he turns his focus on Hipgnosis, a London-based design group responsible for some of the most memorable album covers in rock history from the late 1960s through the early '80s. (That prismatic logo for Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon that has graced every dorm room since 1973? That's Hipgnosis!) Members of Pink Floyd, along with other rock royalty like Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, and Robert Plant, are among the talking heads seen and heard throughout Circle, which blends new interviews shot in Corbijn's trademark high-contrast black-and-white with archival color footage and even animation to trace the eventful rise and fall of the design firm and detail how some of their most notable photoshoots were assembled.
