For No Good Reason a film about Ralph Steadman. Johnny Depp guides the visually stunning journey, smashing narrative conventions, moving seamlessly from interview to animation and in the finest Gonzo tradition questions of witness and authenticity are challenged. Steadman's art is for the first time animated, including illustrations from Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas. Featuring Richard E Grant, Terry Gilliam, Bruce Robinson and with music from Slash, The All American Rejects, Jason Mraz, Crystal Castles, Ed Hardcourt and Beth Orton. A touching and at times funny film about honesty, friendship and the ambition driving an artist. This is a true record of the demise of the 20th Century counterculture and hipster dream with Ralph Steadman the last of the Gonzo visionaries.

This was beautifully made! Ralph Steadman's art is just amazing! To be quite honest, I only knew about him recently, in connection to Hunter S. Thompson and though that partnership is much of the essence of his (and Hunter's) work, I learned here that his art is so much more. I was wowed watching how he created that painting (and made it look so easy). I felt like I could sit here listening to him talking for hours (I guess that's the relevance of Johnny Depp in this - the director puts us there with Ralph through him). And the music chosen was just perfect in helping tell the story too. I loved it, for many good reasons.
