Gilliam on Gilliam (Paperback, Main)

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 yet paranoid worlds of The Fisher King, Twelve Monkeys, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Gilliam has pursued a totally personal and uncompromising vision. As detailed herein, this vision has led to legendary battles with studios and financiers, notably over The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Brazil, the latter of which is now 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.
