The Man Who Killed Don Quixote
“Today's a marvelous day for adventures!”
AdventureComedy
Toby, a cynical film director finds himself trapped in the outrageous delusions of an old Spanish shoe-maker who believes himself to be Don Quixote. In the course of their comic and increasingly surreal adventures, Toby is forced to confront the tragic repercussions of a film he made in his idealistic youth.
VIBE
This film feels like a fever dream, a whimsical yet melancholic journey through a mind unmoored from reality. It's a visually rich, chaotic adventure that blends the absurd with poignant reflections on art, memory, and the blurred lines between creation and madness. Expect a bittersweet, fantastical ride.
