Description
[Machine Translation] Swiss painter and designer H. R. Giger won the 1980 Academy Award for Best Visual Effects for his work on "Alien. The film tells the story of the skull given to him by his father when he was six years old, his fear of mummies in a museum, his encounters with three female partners, and, of course, the story of the birth of "Alien". And of course, the story of the birth of "Alien" is also told. This is a documentary about a rare artist, certified by the H.R. Giger Foundation. --Giger's home and studio appear as if they are the center of the universe. Day and night blend together in this universe that lies behind closed shutters, stripped of time. The only people who know about his kingdom are his family, close friends, and a few assistants. In this film, the camera enters the heart of the "Dark Star. The film features 73-year-old H.R. Giger. He expresses a loving appreciation for the skulls in his possession. It is like an engine that takes him on a journey into the deepest depths of his own darkness. But that journey will soon be over, he adds quietly. In this film, Giger seems to be quietly enjoying his last moments, foreseeing his imminent death. We are here to witness those last days.

Description in Japanese
DARK STAR H・R・ギーガーの世界 / 洋画
『エイリアン』の造形で、1980年のアカデミー賞視覚効果賞を受賞したスイスの画家・デザイナーのH・R・ギーガー。その作品は世界中のファンを魅了し、数々のアルバム・ジャケットにも使用され、多くのアーティストたちに影響を与えてきた。6歳の時に父親にプレゼントされた頭蓋骨や、博物館でのミイラの恐怖といった創作の源泉、3人の女性のパートナーとの出会い。そしてもちろん『エイリアン』誕生秘話も語られる。「H・R・ギーガー財団」公認、稀有のアーティストのドキュメンタリー。 ――映し出されるギーガーの自宅やアトリエはまるで宇宙の中心のようにも見える。時間からもぎとられ、閉ざされたシャッターの向こう側にあるこの宇宙では、昼と夜が溶け合っている。彼の王国について知る者は家族と親しい友人たち、数名のアシスタントのみ。本作ではそんな「ダーク・スター」の中心へとカメラが入り込んだ。映画に登場するのは73歳のH・R・ギーガー。所有する頭蓋骨に対しての、愛にあふれた感謝を彼は述べる。それは彼の抱える暗闇の最深部に旅に出るためのエンジンのようなもの。しかしその旅はもうじき終わるだろう、と彼は静かに付け加える。この映画の中のギーガーは、自分の死期が近いことを予見し、その最後の時を静かに楽しんでいるようでもある。2014年5月、74年間の地球上での人生が終わる。その最後の日々を、私たちはここに目にすることになる。
映像特典: メイキング、スチル撮影について【ハンス・シュミット(写真家)】、舞台挨拶<マルコ・ヴィッツィヒ(H・R・ギーガー財団の作品管理者)&胸組光明(スタイルオンビデオ代表/H・R・ギーガー家族の友人)>、予告編
