Lost in La Mancha
A funny and sad film that shows the destruction from within and without of Terry Gilliam's production of "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote." Watch as F-16's ruin shots by repeatedly flying over the set. Marvel as the weather turns sour. Be astounded as the lead actor gets too ill to continue.
The film makes connections to Gilliam's earlier problematic production The Adventures of Baron Munchauesen and also to Orson Wells unfinished version, and includes much of the small amount of footage that was actually shot for the film.
It's too bad that the didn't get made, but hopefully if the interest remains high enough someone will finally give him enough money to let him make the damn thing.
