Sobre el libro Drawings from the film Beginners by Mike Mills de publicado por Damiani al 2011:

2011 sees the release of Mills’ new feature fi lm, Beginners, starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer. McGregor plays a character who, as Mills describes, “shares some things with me:we both do graphic design,we both often fi gure out what we’re thinking by drawing,we both have dogs and we both did record covers for a very real band named The Sads. This book contains all the drawings which I (Mike) drew, and that Oliver (played by Ewan) works with in the film. Oliver has the unfortunate idea of creating an illustrated ‘History of Sadness’ as a record cover for the The Sads, including such episodes as: Neanderthal man realizes he’s outclassed by homo sapiens man, the pilgrims, industrialization, birth of the novel, pets in general and many more.”This volume also features a new series of drawings: an illustrated History of Love which includes such chapters as: the first butt to attract, great lovers in fi lm, fl appers, free love’s not so easy, internal vs external problems and many more..
