Lost in La Mancha
“They’ve got a story, but have lost the plot.”
Documentary
Fulton and Pepe's 2000 documentary captures Terry Gilliam's attempt to get The Man Who Killed Don Quixote off the ground. Back injuries, freakish storms, and more zoom in to sabotage the project.
VIBE
A fascinating, often painful look at a director's Sisyphean struggle against the forces of nature and misfortune. It's a testament to the sheer, maddening difficulty of bringing a singular vision to life on screen.
