“I Should Never Have Made That Movie”
The film, which premiered in 1982 in Cannes, received mostly positive reviews and has even gathered quite the cult following.

Dealing with Roger and cartoonist Gerald Scarfe made Alan so miserable that he doesn’t have one happy memory from that time in his life. Both Roger and Gerald were adamant in their vision, and they refused to compromise with Alan. This made the process very difficult for everyone involved, and it’s a surprise that Roger, Gerald, and Alan even accomplished anything at all.
