Alan Parker was a British filmmaker who moved from award-winning advertising to features including 'Midnight Express', 'Fame', 'Shoot the Moon', and 'Pink Floyd: The Wall'.
Parker's 'Pink Floyd: The Wall' (1982) demonstrated that a film could systematically dismantle the boundary between memory, psychosis, and reality using animation, live action, and music in an unbroken stream — Nolan screened it for his 'Inception' crew as a reference for subjective reality.
