Now a talented artist and aspiring filmmaker, Brian, along with Jimmy, Jimmy's friend Tina, and Laurie--his reluctant muse--sets off to a remote cabin in the woods with an old 8 millimeter camera to make a true sci-fi horror movie, an homage to Brian's favorite movie: \u003ci\u003eInvasion of the Body Snatchers\u003c\/i\u003e. But as Brian's affections for Laurie go seemingly unreciprocated, Brian writes and draws himself into a fantasy where she is the girl of his dreams, his damsel in distress, and his savior wrapped into one. Rife with references to classic sci-fi and horror movies and filled with panels of stunning depictions of nature, film and the surreal, Burns blurs the line between Brian's dreams and reality, imagination and perception. A master of the form at his finest, \u003ci\u003eFinal Cut\u003c\/i\u003e is an astonishing look at what it means to truly express oneself through art.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charles Burns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pantheon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.75 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.2\" H x 8.6\" L x 1\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780593701706\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49533111468336,"sku":"9780593701706","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780593701706.jpg?v=1774819605","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/final-cut-charles-burns-hardcover","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
