Losing the Light: Terry Gilliam & the Munchausen Saga

Heaven's Gate, by comparison, was a party in Paradise. Some of cinema's legendary artists — renowned for their work with Fellini, Godard, Fassbinder, and Herzog among others — would unwittingly unite to create the greatest financial disaster in movie history: The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Andrew Yule goes behind the scenes of Gilliam's epic and unravels, twist by agonizing twist, the contorted drama which saw the original budget of $23.5 million rocket to an astronomical $46 million — making it one of the most expensive features in history. Hardcover.
