The title "pillbox" refers to both the concrete dug used as a guard post in wartime, and an actual pill box.
Corgan wrote that: "I thought it was a different approach to listening to an album, to watch it in essence with a related, albeit non-linear, silent movie. Art is art. And together the two pieces create a work unto itself."
The film tells the story of a young man named Harry Holmes who was enlisted to war. Consequently him and his partner are forced to separate. Eventually wounded, he finds himself in a "psychedelic fantasyland" where encounters a king and his subjects. After insulting the king, the wounded solider is banished with a blind eye and sent on a wayward voyage through a surreal landscape in search of redemption and his home.
It was screened in London, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City, with the showings featuring appearances by Corgan and/or Strawberry and select cast members.
Rolling Stone called it a "kaleidoscopic and psychedelic 40-minute silent film", while Spling Movies wrote that "the styling is artistic yet camp and stagy as the curious fable plays out against Corgan’s stripped down album turned soundtrack", adding that it "manages to fascinate with its careful composition, ever-changing retro style, Wes Anderson appetite and enchanting spiritual component."
