– 'For No Good Reason' is a film celebrating the life and times of artist Ralph Steadman, a richly creative, visual feast of a film 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. It is riot of stories and images that literally blast out of the screen as we take a trip through the wild and dark days of Steadman's time and consignments with 'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas' writer Hunter S Thompson, the Rumble in the Jungle, gun fights with literary giant William S Burroughs and his fiercely heart-felt politics.
Through 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 passion for civil liberties.
