Lost in La Mancha (2002)
Country: GB
Technical: col 93m
Director: Keith Fulton, Louis Pepe
Cast: Tony Grisoni, Philip Patterson, René Cleitman, Terry Gilliam, Johnny Depp, Jean Rochefort
Synopsis:
Terry Gilliam's attempt to film Don Quijote in Spain has to be abandoned after a week's shooting due to the lead actor's illness, bad weather and a budget which allows precious leeway for acts of God.
Review:
A fascinatingly frank and well packaged documentary whose makers seem to have eavesdropped on just about every painful situation going. The results make for laughter and sadness, as the (self-confessed) parallels between Cervantes's hero and the director become all too material in his downfall.
