The Mindscape of Alan Moore (2005)

Alan Moore, writer, magician and worthy apostle of beards, speaks directly to the viewer. His words are accompanied by reflective imagery illustrating the feelings and social consciousness of Britain of the era. When juxtaposed with selective comic panels from his most famous works (Watchmen, V for Vendetta) and his lesser-known ones (D.R. & Quinch), a deeper understanding of his methodology and strongly-felt motivations is unearthed.
The cogs of Hollywood have tried but always failed to capture the essence of Moore onscreen; Mindscape will help you understand why.
