In Search of Moebius: the complete documentary.
Ever notice how some of the most influential artists are also the most prolific? This artist needed three personas to contain his divergent styles: Gir, Giraud, Moebius. You’ve seen his work in cinema (literally in Alien and The Fifth Element, and spiritually in countless others). This BBC Four documentary surveys his work and influence, a visual feast and a who’s-who of talking heads (including the artist himself) waxing lyrical on the art of Moebius.
Bonus viewing: a visual sequence of Moebius story The Star set to music by Vangelis (Blade Runner).
