Book Presentation:
For the first time, this book traces thirty years of the work and art of Terry Gilliam, from his pre-Python days, through to the astounding adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, released in 1998.
Using Gilliam's own drawings, story-boards and scripts, this book builds to a complete overview of the director's work, examining in detail his striking visual sense and labyrinthine stories of Man against bureaucracy (Brazil, 12 Monkeys), triumphant tales of imagination winning over mediocrity (Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King) and, of course, something completely different (Monty Python and the Holy Grail).

About the Author:
Bob McCabe has worked as a film critic for the Express on Sunday and for the BBC, and has been film editor for Vox magazine, Blah Blah Blah and Comedy Review.
