Synopsis
Film director Terry Gilliam has been dreaming his cinematic adaptation of Cervantes’ Don Quixote for over a quarter of a century, and even by the time he mounted his famously ill-fated production in 2000, he had the reputation of being a Quixote himself: a filmmaker whose stories about visionary dreamers raging against gigantic forces mirrored his own artistic battles with the Hollywood machine. In the wake of Gilliam’s failed attempt, and the publicity it received from Lost in La Mancha, our internationally acclaimed documentary about it, Gilliam was firmly cemented in the public eye as a living incarnation of Cervantes’ hero: a modern-day dreamer fighting for a romantic, but ultimately impossible, illusion.
