I can understand that people are or disagree if Moebius was a great artist or not; everyone has their own opinion; and respect; but if you leave comments insulting others for their thinking, race, or nationality. I'll delete the comment. You can review and against opinions, and discuss a topic always with respect.

RIP Jean Claude Mezieres😓

The main point of that video is just strikingly obvious: if you want a great product - let the professionals, making it just do their job. Do not alter their course, do not interfere with their imagination and ideas - and you will have a masterpiece when they are done.

Beau documentaire . Beaucoup d'illustrations, qui font connaître ces trois artistes. J'adore Luc Besson et son Valérian.

i had the pleasure of seeing the fifth element for the first time onthe big screen when it came out and me and my friends took lsd so it was very surreal laughed so hard at chris tucker one of the best films ever i always thought it looks just like heavy metal's comics

Watching this as a frenchman, is extremely funny. The voice of the commentator when he starts reading blueberry is just fantastic! It's Hilarious!

Maravilloso arte de estos grandes del comic como del cine, personalmente mi heroe es Moebius con esas historias surgidas del puro universo surrealista ubicado en la cabeza de Giraud. Gracias por compartir este video, tenia años sin verlo.

This is one of my favorite movies, with concept art of 2 of my favorite artists...Then a curious thing just happened to me today, I felt drawn to watch the movie again, which lead me to re-read Moebius and Mezieres Wikipedia pages just to find out Mezieres passed out today. I like to believe it was not a coincidence. RIP both of them!!

I've been worshiping their creations since the first time I laid my eyes on Moebius sketch book in a small dilapidated bookstore near a friend's house, and the Valerian series, over 20 years ago. And when I saw "the Fifth Element" I instantly knew the concept artist behind it. In retrospect, it wasn't until 10 years ago that started to prefer European comics rather than the American. But I fancy both in general due to my experience with reading both genres when I was very young.

now I know why I loved that movie so much!

Muchas gracias por compartir este material audiovisual. Es muy inspirador poder ver el gran trabajo artístico que hay detrás de este tipo de producciones cinematográficas. Moebius y Mezieres son unos excelentes artistas y sus viñetas e historias son simplemente geniales. Saludos!!

²Very deep & marvelous obituary for the two fathers of great Dream . Thank you for this moment of pure joy. I felt a little sad though , that - as ever - our great caliber french artists remain always almost unknown in France. It seems like their art need to be confirmed by a foreign success before being accepted in their own country !

Moebius... we miss you so much...

Whomever argues the greatness of Msr. Giraud is obviously not in his senses. You can like or dislike His art. His genius is undebatable and the graphic universes he built border the immeasurable.

Este documental es maravilloso, emocionante. Ver a estos dos artistas que admiro, que nunca he visto en video antes, hablar, dibujar, fue fuerte para mi.

Precisamente lo que amo del Quinto Elemento es que tiene ese elemento estético muy del cómic francés. Muy de la escuela de Heavy Metal o Métal Hurlant... Maravillosamente puesto en escena. La película definitivamente tiene el sello de Moebius y Mezieres.

For more check "Jodorowsky's dune".

Wow, un final muy emotivo. Cada vez que mencionan "Valerian" recuerdo el intro de la película con la canción de David Bowie y la aparición de Rutger Hauer; en definitiva también se aprecia el mismo estilo en esta otra película y se extraña el talento de los difuntos artistas (dibujantes, músicos y actores).

These friends are so so amazing. Their art is godlike. And the movie is above the edge of fantastic ❤

amazing moebius

If Luc Besson gets a chance, he could use his original script for "The Fifth Element," a.k.a. "Zaltman Bleros," with all the designs by Mezieres and Moebius, use an artist influenced by Moebius, and make it into a graphic novel. I mean, look at the graphic novel versions of never-made or prototypes for films in recent years: 1): Darren Aronofsky with his original scripts for, "The Fountain," (i.e. his epic version, shut down when they were ready to go, though made as a lower-budget film) and "Noah," (i.e. first draft with Ari Handel) the former published by Vertigo/DC Comics, and the latter published by Image Comics. 2): Kevin Smith, with his screenplays for film adaptations for "The Green Hornet," and "The Bionic Man," made into graphic novels by Dynamite Entertainment. 3): The original script for "Star Wars," written back in 1973/74/75, made into a graphic novel many years later, released by Dark Horse Comics and after it's contract expired, republished by Marvel Comics.

que grosos, simplemente GENIAL el diseño artístico de esa peli, y que emoción debe ser lograr un trabajo así de grande mas allá de si uno es reconocido o no

superb conceptual art

This is absolutely lovely! what amazing talent and lovely personalities. This is timeless work!

Thanks for upload this!

Gracias por subirlo, a de ser tremendamente inspirador.

Gracias Alberto. Soy fan tanto de Jean Giraud como de su alter ego Moebius y la nota que subiste está muy buena. Gracias otra vez

Magnifique nyo!!!

hermoso documental, gracias por subirlo

Poca gente sabe que estos artistas participaron en la película del quinto elemento, yo mismo lo desconocía, si no es por que me gusta ver todos los extras que vienen en los dvd, no me hubiera encontrado este clip. Le agradezco que pasara a ver y dejara un comentario! Un Saludo

gracias por subir este material. Jan es unico !!! arriba el comic!

Moebius Jean Gir was the greatest Artist of our time, as Mezier says Wolfgang Amadeus Moebius he was a Genius

No sabía que se conocían. Que genial tener un amigo así

Thank you for your upload.

RIP MASTER

I wish my friend Len and I could have the same adventure. Great doc. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting. RIP the master.

Thanks for sharing! Great video!

Great design work.

awesome!!!!!

and this year early January Jean Claude is no more. RIP. I am currently buying the full Valerian and Laureline series. I wish they translated more of their work.

Is there an art book for this movie?

Great story.

This is Inspirational

this is awesome:0

J'adore tout ça!

bueno excelente, grazie

Flosten Paradise in the movie always looked to me like an iron (for clothes). As a child I play with my mother's futuristic-looking iron pretending it was a spaceship (then I saw in Last Jedi that they also played with the same idea - iron as spaceship - as a gag).

Having worked in the film industry for a short time, I can tell you, set designers, costume designers and storyboard artists work their arses off 6 days a week... 7 days in France according to this story. It's all creative excitement, at first, the hard slog and deadlines got to me after a while and I thought... I can get more money for working half as hard as a freelance artist, on advertising agency storyboards. I wouldn't call myself a workaholic, or lazy... but two ex-wives did... I was a workaholic... wife number one... and lazy, wife number two... Go figure.

France France France , definitely going to visit this original country. And I will not going to visit the England or USA - i will skip it for a better days !

the two greatest

it doesn't mention that moebius went on to sue luc besson b/c he feels he ended up stealing too much of his work not done specifically for the film, namely from the incal. very strange- he lost the case :( RIP moebius

Hi, there is an error in your vid you said Mezieres & Moebius together continue to work to Valerian. They never collaborate about Valerian & Laureline the comic books. Mezieres was the only drawer of Les Aventures Spatiotemporelles de V & L.

At 7min 30secs explaining Willis character says why hes not surprised by anything and is burnt out. Cool

nice

where are the rest of camille cassit drawings or art in general? that mangalore concept art is insanely good. It's difficult for me to find out anything else about her on the internet.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You might mention Blueberry's co-creator, Jean-Michel Charlier.

Were the artists not invited to the movie premieres?

RIP MASTER GIRAUD

I wonder where the original artwork is?

Why was Mezieres left out of the title of this video ?

Some scenes of Fifth Element coming from Heavy Metal (1981), well obviously Jean made Heavy Metal

Yes, L.Besson is a good commercial producer,but his deficient artistic side drops the final product down to a B-serie film.I say it but I admit that the challenge was hard.If he had been aware enough of the huge potential of Moebius & Mezière,he shouldhave free them drivin any side of the film .These two guys are so far ahead in dream art,:no one could drive them without vital loss,.As did Kusturica with the gypsy tribe ( Chat noir,Chat Blanc),Besson should let it to their free delirium.

RIP Mezieres

I need the artbook!!!

The only thing I don’t like in this movie is the diva’s song part… And I think the song didn’t aged well ! Absolutely love the picture of theses two friend so proud and fully funny at the end 😄

Reminds me of Darrow, this is a good thing. :D

J'aime Moebius et maintenant Mezieres.

Сооl!

Oh, how I wish Denis Villeneuve would try making a Valérian movie.

"bandes dessinées" means literally "drawn strips" as in comic strips :D

french comics have a strong belgian influence.

12:31 ... MULTIPASS!!!!

music on the background pls anybody???

Dieses Comic hat mich zu einem besseren Menschen verholfen die unglaubliche Tiefe Gedanken

alot of the concept art are cooler than teh actual final design imo.. but thats just my opinion

Guys, now you need te see Blueberry the movie with some thc. Sheers 😉👌🏽

:)

looks like doctor who design. or vice versa

Did they seriously not even mention the obvious connection to The Incal? Both in the story and the art. Man talk about trying to rewrite history. Intentionally omitting Jodorowsky and how much he influenced this film. Did they tell Moebius not to mention The Incal or did they just edit it out of the interview? Have to wonder

wooooooooooooooohuuuuuuuuuuuu hahha yeaaah

o.O

I heard they never got paid for their work. Took Besson to court and lost.

It's totally brazing that they do not mention The Incal. Much of the film is a faithful copy of that comic

That shitty job is what I do for a living now.

Wait wait wait wait.... Does not Metal Hurlant mean Screaming Metal?

Star wars es una copia de estos dos genios

not "comic book". "graphic novel" know the difference.

While the 5th Element may be an interesting film, to look at, story-wise and with much of the acting it really is a very bad film. And, due to the people who adore the film, it is actually excruciatingly overrated. By no means is it the worst film that I have ever seen; but, it is an extremely sub-standard film. Certainly one of the worst `popular` films that I have ever seen. Ever. In my entire life.

I can understand that people are or disagree if Moebius was a great artist or not; everyone has their own opinion; and respect; but if you leave comments insulting others for their thinking, race, or nationality.
