Requirements: .ePUB reader, 71.7MB
Overview: Terry Gilliam, the screenwriter, innovative animator, highly acclaimed visionary film director and only non-British member of Monty Python offers an intimate glimpse into his world in this fascinating memoir illustrated with hand-drawn sketches, notes and memorabilia from his personal archive.
From his no-frills childhood in the icy wastes of Minnesota to some of the hottest water Hollywood had to offer, via the cutting edge of 1960s and 1970s counter-culture in New York City, Los Angeles and London, Gilliam’s life has been as vivid, entertaining and unorthodox as one of his films.
Telling his story for the first time, the director of Time Bandits, Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys and Fear amd Loathing in Las Vegas, along with his work as a co-founder of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, recalls his life so far. Packed with never-before-seen artwork, photographs and commentary, Gilliamesque: A Pre-Posthumous Memoir blends the visual and the verbal with scabrous wit and fascinating insight.
Gilliam’s book also features a cast of amazing supporting characters, including George Harrison, Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Robert De Niro, Brad Pitt, Uma Thurman, Johnny Depp, Heath Ledger and all of the fellow Pythons, as well as cameo appearances from some of the heaviest cultural hitters of modern times, from Woody Allen to Frank Zappa, Gloria Steinem to Robert Crumb, Richard M. Nixon to Hunter S. Thompson. Gilliam’s encounters with the great and the not-so-good are revealing, funny and hugely entertaining.
This book is an unrestrained look into a unique creative mind and an incomparable portrait of late twentieth-century popular culture.
