Mike Mills' films and design work have dominated the visual landscape of the past two decades, through record covers and music videos for bands like Air, Blonde Redhead and Sonic Youth, movies such as The Architecture of Reassurance (2000) and Paperboys (2001) and his first feature-length film, Thumbsucker (2004), starring Keanu Reeves and Tilda Swinton.

2011 sees the release of Mills' new feature film, 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 figure 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 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 was released June 3rd, 2011 and stars Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer, Mélanie Laurent, Goran Visnjic, Kai Lennox, Mary Page Keller, Keegan Boos, China Shavers. The film is directed by Mike Mills.

    Saw the movie, thought it was great. Was siked to hear about the movie when i first heard about it cause I thought Thumbsucker was awesome as well. Mike Mills brillantly adds humor to any awkward or depressing situation.

    This movie is a gem! From directing to acting and from storyline to scenery, I could not be more impressed. Because I am so smitten with the illustrations that were featured in the film, I would LOVE (must have??) the Mike Mills book.

    The soundtrack? A perfect match for the film and its characters. And because it's good music... I want it.

    The ipod would be nice, too -- but I would be elated to have the book and music so I can continue to enjoy the movie long after it's out of the theatre.
