About the Film & Book :
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer, Mélanie Laurent, GoranVisnjic
Directed By: Mike Mills
Written By: Mike Mills
Beginners imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver. Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who — following 44 years of marriage — came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal's new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they'd ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.
The book Drawings From the Film Beginners By Mike Mills contains all the drawings which Mike Mills 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 film, flappers, free love's not so easy, internal V.S. external problems and many more.
Beginners, a new comedy/drama about how deeply funny and transformative life can be, even at its most serious moments, was one of the talks of the South by Southwest Film Conference after making its U.S. premiere there in March.

My favorite Ewan McGregor is Big Fish. The film is beautifully told, and Ewan is just about perfect in it. I also LOVE Mike Mills’ artwork and would be so, so happy if I won a copy of the book!
Thanks,
