More is a film directed by Barbet Schroder, released in 1969 starring Mimsy Farmer and Klaus Grunberg, dealing with heroin addiction on the island of Ibiza. It features a soundtrack written and performed by Pink Floyd, released as the album More.

It is the story of a German student finished with his studies who decides to have an adventure, get out of his conservative skin and to burn his bridges. He meets a free spirited American girl in Paris and follows her to Ibiza. But she is more complicated than he expected. He gets jealous of her free lifestyle and takes her away where they can live alone. There she introduces him to heavy drugs.

This story is modeled on the myth of Daedalus and Icarus with the girl as the Sun.

The French film Censorship Board in 1969 insisted that some of the dialog be censored around the 81 minute mark before the film could be released. In the film, as the couple mix up a hallucinogenic concoction in the kitchen, the ingredients "benzedrine" and "banana peel" are deleted from the audio track. On the DVD, the words have been re-added as subtitles.

Most of the movie has been shot on the island of Ibiza. The castle of Ibiza which is dominating the harbour and the town is the scene for the final act. The place where Stefan (Klaus Gruenberg) dies, a tunnel near the castle, has been invaded by junkies during the seventies and eighties, it has been seen as a place of pilgrimage for addicts.
