Directed by Hasko Baumann

How could a man invent all those strange places and stories, collaborate with some of the worlds maddest artists and even go so far to seriously prepare himself to be picked up by aliens – and then go live a quiet and secure life back in Paris? Was he ever in danger of losing his mind? Or was it necessary for his art to live a life like that, and out of self-protection to split into in different personalities?

In Moebius Redux – A Life in Pictures an exceptional artist tells his lifes and works story. Artists he met and left on his way, join in: Longtime collaborators like Alejandro Jodorowsky and Philippe Druillet, Swiss artist H.R. Giger and Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee, admirers like Jim Lee and Mike Mignola. Their narration not only gives an insight in how they experienced working with Giraud, but also presents the fascinatingly woven network around one of the most important comic book artists ever.

Inspired by Girauds visual power Moebius Redux – Ein Leben in Bildern animates the diversity and dynamic of his work. Extraordinary views on Paris, Los Angeles and the Mexican desert build a visual link between his life and his artistic universe, accompanied by the electronic soundtrack composed by Kraftwerk legend Karl Bartos.
