Book Reviews of Dark Knights and Holy Fools: The Art and Films of Terry Gilliam

Book Review: Terry Gilliam - Mad to Python to Fear and Loathing in 1 book
Summary: 5 Stars

Dark Knights and Holy Fools is an in-depth view of Terry Gilliam's work, from Occidental College's student magazine Fang, Harvey Kurtzman's magazine HELP!, through Monty Python to his dark and often gothic films such as Time Bandits, Brazil and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

This book contains the stories behind many of the films (although if you want the full version of the Brazil saga, you're better off reading The Battle for Brazil). Bob McCabe also talks to the man himself to get his take on what the films are really about. With storyboard pictures, behind the scenes shots, new artwork and old favourites, this book is a must for all Terry Gilliam (and Monty Python) fans.
