This bio/doc of Zurich resident and artist HR Gigers has to easily rank as a take on one of the strangest men who has perhaps ever lived. He is in a realm of his own virtually all of the time with only the very few privileged allowed to enter his bizarre world. I found it rather disturbing viewing a man who lives in such peculiar circumstances. The whole experience is too much of an alienation from what humanity should be. If one thinks of the adage: "NO MAN IS AN ISLAND"... well this Gigers character certainly makes minced meat of the saying. I did not enjoy this bio/doc in the least. Being a very social person, I am diametrically and adamantly opposed to all he stands for. Some might enjoy his oddity of a life and thus find the doc to their taste! NOT ME! I was going to rate this doc a 1, but there is some merit in the film making.
