Synopsis

The film consists of 78 minutes of Moore talking directly into the camera. There are no other perspectives or interviews, no narration, and no archival footage or reenactments of his past. Moore talks about himself, a little about his work, and a lot about his philosophies and his opinions of religion, art, history, and science. Because there’s no other perspective provided, it’s hard to judge just how much of what Moore says about his past or his philosophy is accurate. It’s not that he has a reputation for lying, but like all artists he does sometimes show a tendency for self-mythology and hyperbole. —DVDverdict.com

This is the most atrociously edited and scored movie I've ever seen, but Moore is so compelling as a thinker that simply being able to listen to him teach makes the film not only tolerable but vaguely recommendable.

if you can set aside the kitschy visual flourishes, this amounts to a fairly substantive monologue from alan moore. his worldview is a little too joseph-campbell-ish for me, but he's quite good at making esoteric ideas seem approachable. he also shies away from the willful air of mystery a lot of people interested in neo-pagan/occult/magick ideas often revel in. the bit about porn is particularly persuasive.

It's like Herzog. I can hear him talking for hours
