More on GILLIAMESQUE, the book:
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 and Loathing in Las Vegas - not to mention co-founder of Monty Python's Flying Circus - recalls his life so far. Packed with never-before-seen artwork, photographs and commentary, Gilliamesque blends the visual and the verbal with scabrous wit and fascinating insights.
This book is an unrestrained look into a unique creative mind and an incomparable portrait of late twentieth-century popular culture.
Beautiful . . . Gilliam is a true original and it is reassuring to discover that he knows exactly why he is: messy yet realistic and, like the Spanish Inquisition of his Python days, always unexpected * * TELEGRAPH * *
Stunning * * OBSERVER * *
Filled with honest wisdom, innocence and wonder, from the roots of creativity to the temporal perspective of age . . . Gilliam has never made a dull film and is incapable of writing a dull sentence * * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY * *
Fascinating * * SFX * *
Packed with never-before-seen artwork and photographs, an illustrated and typically unorthodox memoir * * MAIL ON SUNDAY * *
