The screenplay was written by Paul Gégauff and Barbet Schroeder with the original story by Schroeder.[5] It features a soundtrack written and performed by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released as an album the same year. Schroeder's inspiration for the film came from the counterculture tradition of the 1960s with themes of drugs, addiction, sexual freedom and the beauty of life often in New Wave films.[10][11] Production began in 1968 with a low budget, and the film was partially funded by Jet Films and executive produced by Les Films du Losange.[1]
Upon its release on 4 August 1969, More garnered mostly negative reviews from critics. It was selected to be screened in the Cannes Classics section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.[12] More was released on DVD on 5 April 2005 by Home Vision Entertainment.
