Terry Gilliam
ISBN: 9780719070327 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Terry Gilliam presents a sustained examination of one of cinema's most challenging and lauded auteurs, proposing fresh ways of seeing Gilliam that go beyond reductive readings of him as a gifted but manic fantasist.

ISBN: 9781443835749 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.
