Robert Smith Talks the Cure’s ‘Overwhelming’ 40th Anniversary Concert Film:

When Robert Smith went down to see a concert clip of The Cure’s magnificent 2018 Hyde Park concert, he wasn’t prepared for the complete 4K experience. He claims, “The first close-up of a human face I saw was me.” “It was extremely terrifying,” says the narrator. The recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee admits he was initially hesitant to make the video, which is titled Anniversary 1978-2018 Live in Hyde Park London and will be released in select theaters around the world on July 11th. People are more self-conscious when they know they’re being recorded, but he decided it was worth it because it was such a special occasion. He’d loaded the setlist with favorites like “Just Like Heaven,” “Lovesong,” and “Boys Don’t Cry” 40 years to the weekend after The Cure played their debut show in Crawley.

So he recruited Tim Pope, the band’s veteran videographer, to direct the film “on the sly” with 16 cameras, and he didn’t notify his bandmates, who already had enough to worry about playing in front of 65,000 people that day. Despite his initial apprehension about the close-up, he is glad he did it. The show came after the Cure performed at the Meltdown festival in London, so he tried hard to distinguish the two experiences. He played a set that began with the band’s oldest songs, advanced to their most recent, and then returned to the beginning for the Meltdown event, named Curation. He chose nearly 30 songs for the 40th anniversary show that “an audience would like to hear.”
