The documentary is finally online for us peasants. Just finished watching it. Most of the interviews are in German so don't forget to turn your subs on. The feature's not bad but it really should have been so much more. The xenomorph stuff only lasts for about 5 minutes and they don't even mention Sil or Species. Giger himself really looks like he's at Death's Door - can barely walk and talk. Even for a German speaker, you'd be hard pressed to understand what he's saying through his mumblings had it not been for the subtitles. Seeing the train in his back yard and seeing him attend the press events was the highlights for me. I think the documentary could have really done with some narration in English.
So yeah, only for the hardcore Giger fans. I guess if you want the whole xenomorph experience, go watch his older documentary, Giger's Alien.

Has anyone heard anything about this movie coming to North America? I really want to see this in English and in Canada...
You may recall that I previously posted about an upcoming documentary about H.R Giger called Dark Star. Inked has just posted an exclusive look at the poster for the documentary:
“The poster was designed by Mika Komoto, which is actually an up close detail of one of Giger's masterful paintings ["Li II"] which can be found at his museum in Gruyeres, Switzerland. According to Dark Star's official website, the "Spell Room" was Giger's favorite part of his museum. In his later years, he rarely visited the museum, but he managed to pay a visit one last time during the filming of this documentary—which is one of the many reasons to see this captivating film”
Be sure to check out the Dark Star homepage for screening details. Thanks to Gilbert Macias for the tip.
