Memory: The Origins of Alien
2019
6.4 (108)
1 hr 35 min
Before Alien, there was Starbeast. Before Starbeast, there was… Memory.
The untold origin story behind Ridley Scott's Alien - rooted in Greek and Egyptian mythologies, underground comics, the art of Francis Bacon, and the dark visions of Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger. A contemplation on the symbiotic collaborative process of movie-making, the power of myth, and our collective unconscious.
