The wild bunch, bold cinematic rebels and adventurous films
UNITED STATES | 95 minutes | 2019
Documentarist Alexandre O. Philippe goes back to the very roots of a film that marked the imagination of an entire generation: Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979). Having minutely analyzed George Lucas (The People VS George Lucas), the history of the zombie flick (Doc of the Dead) and most recently, Hitchcock’s infamous shower scene (78/52), the Swiss filmmaker indulges in his obsession with film production backstories by taking on a sci-fi classic. Made up of interviews and scene dissections — including of the film’s most iconic moment — it’s a documentary to warm the heart of any cinephile.
