Synopsis
In 1985, Universal Pictures released Terry Gilliam's film, "Brazil", under protest. Gilliam had mounted the first director's guerilla campaign against a major Hollywood studio to circumvent his mo being sliced to bits or shelved. "LA Times" film writer and writer Jack Mathews was right in the th the battle, acting as intermediary between the President of Universal, Sid Sheinberg and Gilliam and producer Arnon Milchan. This is a blow-by-blow account of that epic and historic fight as it happene 1985 as well as from the more sober perspective of a dozen years after.

Based on the reviews so far, I bought this book from Amazon.com and received it yesterday. It was so gripping, I finished it that evening. After seeing films like THE PLAYER and talking to aquaintences who like predictable movies with happy endings, I figured the big studios discouraged original, thought-provoking films. But this book shows how they try to rationalize it. I liked how Jack Mathews tried to be objective and show both sides and I was amazed at the differences between LA and NY critics and how they affect films. Talk about too many cooks in the kitchen!
Even if you don't think much of the film BRAZIL, if you love interesting films and want to know why it's rare to see one come out, read this book. I'm sure Terry Gilliam isn't alone in his battles with studios and critics. If you did like BRAZIL, you'll also get a glimpse of Gilliam's creativity with some of his storyboards, plus you get the entire script of the film with some annotations. After reading this book, I got a great behind-the-scenes look of not only how a film comes about, but how it gets marketed to the public as well.

Sure, I might be biased (Brazil is one of my favorite movies) but it was great to see the fighting that took place in order to unleash such a beautiful piece of work. A must read for anyone involved commercially in the creative process, and anyone who loves Terry Gilliam's Brazil.

It's about time this book was back in print! And an updated version no less! The book primarily relates a blow-by-blow account of director Terry Gilliam's struggle to get studio executives to release his film "Brazil" without first 'dumbing it down' for the American market. But the book also succeeds on another level by giving you glimpses into the filmmaker's vision for the film and leaves you wondering how much more the film could have been if not for the harsh reality that movies are a business. A 'must have' for any fan of the movie.

If it's about Gilliam it's got to be good
This is a great book about the troubles of releasing the movie Brazil for Universal Pictures. It's much more sympathetic than Andrew Yules Losing the light which is another fine... Lesen Sie weiter...
