Bien que né en Amérique, Terrence Vance Gilliam est un écrivain, cinéaste et membre de la célèbre troupe comique Monty Python. Il a la distinction unique d'être le seul membre des Monty Python né en Amérique, le reste du groupe étant des Britanniques de souche. Sa voix créative distinctive et sa sensibilité comique sont évidentes dans ses œuvres. Sa production aborde fréquemment des thèmes non conventionnels et des mondi visuellement captivants.
This title is aimed at practical artists and fans of John Howe, offering step-by-step demonstrations, sketches, and finished paintings. It covers essential subjects for aspiring fantasy artists, including materials, the creative process, and techniques for drawing and painting humans, beasts, landscapes, and architecture.
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 '60s and '70s counter-culture in New York, LA and London, Terry Gilliam's life has been as vivid 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 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. Gilliam's 'pre-posthumous memoir' also features a cast of amazing supporting characters - 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 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.
The essential gags, sketches, and songs, handpicked and introduced by the surviving members of the Python team. The book features full-color pages of Monty Python classics in a brilliant paperback format and includes gems such as Spamalot, The Meaning of Life, and many more enduring classics.
The raucous life story from the legendary film director and co-founder of Monty Python.
Based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, this is the screenplay of the movie. Includes thoughts by both Tony Grisoni and Terry Gilliam.“Transferred to the screen by Gilliam with a fidelity to the author's imagery ... here it is in all its splendiferous funhouse terror; the closest sensory approximation of an acid trip ever achieved by a mainstream movie.” – The New York Times
