You’ve definitely seen his work- now meet the man responsible for some of the most iconic caricatures and cartoons that helped define a generation at its most turbulent of time. Famed British artist Ralph Steadman, the man whose work and creative partnership with Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson showcased his darkly perverse lensing of late 60’s politics and culture, gets the documentary treatment here in For No Good Reason. Director Charlie Paul, along with the film’s narrator and longtime Steadman friend/ally Johnny Depp, help tell this visionary’s story of creating art that spoke to both the political unrest of the times as well as his own dark desires.

The film maintains a steady story of which to learn about this amazing artist.

Part interview of Depp with Steadman in his England-side studio, part biographical documentary of Steadman’s upbringing and partnership with Thompson and beyond, the film maintains a steady story of which to learn about this amazing artist. Combine that with the dazzling black and white sprawled images and artwork, animated so as to give the cartoons an entire new life, the story is one that audiences should go to seek out, for all the right reasons.
