Anton Corbjin’s Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) is a documentary on the founders of the design studio that designed some of the most iconic album covers of all time—Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, Paul McCartney and Wings’s Band on the Run, to name a few. Considering Corbjin’s history as a designer and photographer of rock acts, it is not surprising that his fascination with the subject at hand can be felt throughout Squaring the Circle. However, the film suffers from a critical problem: it formulaically recounts the story of a genuinely groundbreaking artistic concern. The film utilizes the standard template for movies of this sort—archival footage of varying degrees of significance, talking head interviews, and loads and loads of needle drops from the albums they worked on. While the talking heads that Corbjin was able to round up are impressive, the tales they tell are amusing but not precisely probing. Hardcore rock fans will no doubt enjoy this warm nostalgia bath. At the same time, those less involved will probably find it pleasant but forgettable—the exact opposite of the typical Hipgnosis creation.
