"Art of" books are always fascinating, but this exploration of McKean and Gaima's film MirrorMask is something else. To many readers I imagine that it looks like loosely bound chaos, with little connection to the actual narrative of the film, but this is really very much in the tone of the film itself. MirrorMask is a complex, convoluted story for all that it masquerades as another take on the Alice in Wonderland adventure, and it's best taken as a chaotic dreamscape adventure that needs no formalization. Its beauty lies in the exploration of the insides of Dave McKean's and Neil Gaiman's occasionally cooperative minds, which clearly know few bounds and are cpaable of combining a variety of themes and imagery into something wholey new and wonderful. This book may not seem to make any more sense of the film than itself, but the motely arrangement of sketches, film stills, concept art, and commentary gives us glimpses behind the curtain and some additional material to explore in context. If there had been an attempt to rationalize the creationof the film I honestly don't think that it would be very enjoyable, since viewers of the film must accept the beautiful chaos of the story and readers must do likewise. To do otherwise would detract from teh film and potentially strip it of some of its magic (and none of us want that)! ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

An oversized, lavishly produced book, The Alchemy of MirrorMask takes readers inside the making of the feature film and allows them to experience the creative process. Animated by Dave McKean and written by Neil Gaiman, MirrorMask combines animation and live action with a compelling storyline to take the cinematic experience to a stunning new level. MirrorMask is the story of Helena, a fifteen-year-old girl who works for her family's circus. She juggles, sells popcorn, and longs to run away and join the "real world." Helena also dreams, and one day she wakes up to find herself in a strange new world populated by mysterious creatures...a dream world where she embarks on an amazing journey. Each chapter in The Alchemy of MirrorMask begins with an introduction by McKean and Gaiman and then guides readers through the different types of visuals used to create the film, including sketches, paintings, storyboards, 3-d models, photographs, texture maps, frame blow-ups, and more. Also included are photos taken on the set and during McKean's travels to Venice, Prague, Trieste, Warsaw, and other places that provided inspiration for MirrorMask. Gaiman and McKean's insightful commentary sheds light on the film's journey from concept to screen. Gaiman and McKean fans, cinema buffs, and visual art enthusiasts will all delight in The Alchemy of MirrorMask, a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the making of an extraordinary film.
