Alan Moore—writer, artist and performer—is the world's most critically acclaimed and widely admired creator of comic books and graphic novels.
In "The Mindscape of Alan Moore", we see a portrait of the artist as contemporary shaman, someone with the power to transform consciousness by means of manipulating language, symbols and images.
The film leads the audience through Moore's world with the writer himself as guide, beginning with his childhood background, following the evolution of his career as he transformed the comics medium, through to his immersion in a magical worldview where science, spirituality and society are part of the same universe.
Editor's Note
Comic-book writer Alan Moore ushered in a new age of maturity in the medium with his work on WATCHMEN, V FOR VENDETTA, and SWAMP THING. In this documentary, Moore speaks candidly about his inspirations, including his belief in magic and its connection to art. THE MINDSCAPE OF ALAN MOORE is a one-of-a-kind look at a reclusive genius who usually refuses to take part in film projects--even if it only means cashing a check.
