Insightful humorous and visually stunning this is a study in honestly friendship and the ambition that drives an artist. Ralph's rise to prominence began in the early 1970's during the fallout from the love and hope that had swept the western world during the 1960's. This legendary time for music literature art and philosophy was the catalyst along with his developing relationship with writer Hunter S Thompson for Ralph to express and chart the wreckage that followed; a large-scale disintegration of a demoralised counter-culture. His art gained recognition in the press and popular-culture publications both in the UK and US for its bold comment on his fiercely heartfelt politics. The film is a richly creative visual feast about the power and importance of art to achieve Steadman's aim I learnt to draw... to try to change the world. Director Charlie Paul spent 15 years meticulously amassing the footage and creating the remarkable animations for the film to match the same anarchic energy anger and free spirit of Steadman's pictures. Through Johnny Depp's lead in this intimate portrait we are able to reach to the heart of what make this artist tick his friendships and fallings out his love for art and his passion for civil liberties. For No Good Reason is a riot of stories and images as we take a trip through the wild and dark days of Steadman's time with Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas writer Thompson the Rumble In The Jungle; gunfights with literary giant William S Burroughs and his fiercely heartfelt politics. This is an invention energetic occasionally harrowing but inspiring and uplifting film with contributions from Terry Gilliam Richard E. Grant and music from Slash All American Rejects Jason Mraz James Blake Ed Harcourt and Crystal Castles.
