Book synopsis

An intimate look at the films of Terry Gilliam, visionary director and animator Terry Gilliam is a famously candid commentator on his own work, and in these specially recorded interviews, he reflects on how his Midwestern childhood and early career as an animator--including his work as the only American member of Monty Python--prepared him to undertake his extraordinary adventures in cinema. His films are distinctively dark, fantastic, and strangely hilarious. From the medieval mock-epic "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" to the mythic, paranoid worlds of "The Fisher King," "Twelve Monkeys," and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," Gilliam has pursued a totally personal, uncompromising vision. This has led to legendary battles with studios and financiers, notably over "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" and "Brazil," which is now widely considered a classic. The book includes Gilliam's storyboards for the films--a unique glimpse at his creative process--along with his original cartoons and black-and-white photographs throughout.
