The documentary For No Good Reason explores the life of British cartoon-artist Ralph Steadman, who is best known for caricatures he created alongside the work of longtime friend, journalist Hunter S. Thompson of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas fame (or infamy).

Chicago – In the deluge of images that pierce our cerebral cortex on a daily basis, it’s refreshing to go back to the days when images had more influence, sought through publications or word of mouth. Artist Ralph Steadman was a mover and shaker – along with his writing partner Hunter S. Thompson – in the age-old notion that the pen can be mightier than the sword.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Steadman’s work is more well known than his name, because of his association with Hunter S. From his first wild illustrations in Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” to his editorial forays for Rolling Stone Magazine, Steadman has used his surrealist style to expose the madness of society and all of us. Director Charlie Paul provides an exacting history of Steadman, along with a profile of the artist today. What is most fascinating about the film is the artist-at-work – he uses...

Chicago – You may not know the name Ralph Steadman, but you most certainly have run into his cartoon art. The surrealist was a partner with Hunter S. Thompson, illustrating books like “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” and is a subject of a new documentary entitled “For No Good Reason,” directed by Charlie Paul.
Charlie Paul’s wife Lucy is also his producing partner on the film, which features Johnny Depp as an observer in Ralph Steadman’s studio, and as an occasional interviewer as the story unfolds. The title is an answer to Steadman’s activism, in which he used his artist’s pen as sword against the hypocrisy of the historic events of the late 1960s, through the tumultuous 1970s. “For No Good Reason” isn’t a negative term, it just understands the circumstances of the time.

The framing device of the new, 15-years-in-the-making documentary For No Good Reason finds Johnny Depp paying a visit to the film’s subject, British artist Ralph Steadman, at his home in Britain. Director Charlie Paul admits getting that footage proved a little tricky given that Steadman was initially none to keen on participating in the project at all, and Johnny Depp is, well, Johnny Depp.
“Ralph didn’t see the sense in making a ,” says Paul. “He’s a very private man. as the years went on Ralph became more and more relaxed with my presence and would say things...

Sony Pictures Classics has acquired all North American rights to the Ralph Steadman documentary “For No Good Reason” directed by Charlie Paul. Steadman is most well known for the illustrations he contributed to the writings of Hunter S. Thompson when they were developing their Gonzo style of journalism in the 1970s. His political and satirical drawings have appeared in many books since then, and the film investigated the artist’s process with the help of Johnny Depp (who famously appeared as Thompson in Terry Gilliam’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”). Itch Film co-founder Lucy Paul produced. “Ralph Steadman is one of the most profound and innovative artists of our generation,” said Spc’s Tom Bernard and Michael Barker. “We have always admired his work and in this wonderful film, Charlie Paul opens Steadman's studio and unique creative process to both his admirers and new fans in the process.
