Dark Knights & Holy Fools The Art and Films of Terry Gilliam
Bob McCabe, Terry Gilliam. Orion Publishing Group. Award-winning film director, animator and actor Terry Gilliam has been one of the most original, controversial and successful filmmakers of the last three decades of the 20th century. This book traces his work from the pre-Python days in the sixties through his astounding adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' in 1998. It pulls no punches on the way by also reviewing his disasters (like the lamented non appearance of 'Watchman'). Heavily illustrated, it draws on Gilliam's own material. As he says '...I opened up my own archive [to Bob] for this book, allowing many sketches, storyboards and photos to be used for the very first time.' 192 pages. Hard Cover Full Colour 10" x 10" (25cm x 25cm) Dust Jacket ISBN: 0752818279
