H.R. Giger, the Swiss surrealist best known for designing the creature in Alien, opens his home and studio to the camera for this portrait of his life and work. The film moves through his cluttered Zurich house, filled with his own paintings, sculptures, and biomechanical furniture, and lets his working environment speak for his sensibility as much as any interview. Giger discusses his fascination with the fusion of flesh and machine, his early struggles for recognition, and the anxieties and obsessions that fed his airbrushed nightmares of skulls, spines, and industrial architecture. Colleagues and associates fill in details about his rise from a controversial fringe painter to an Oscar-winning film designer. The tone stays intimate rather than academic, treating Giger less as a public artist and more as a private eccentric whose surroundings are inseparable from his art. It is a close, unpolished look at a man whose imagery reshaped science fiction cinema.
