The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (15)
Dir Terry Gilliam, UK, 2019, 132 mins. Cast. Adam Driver, Jonathan Pryce, Olga Kurylenko, Joana Ribeiro, Stellan Skarsgard.
Terry Gilliam returns with the realisation of one of his dream projects in this madcap reimagining of Don Quixote. Once upon a time, Toby was an idealistic young film student. These days he is a jaded, arrogant and over-sexed commercials director. But he is moved to revisit the location of his student film, a retelling of Don Quixote. To Toby’s horror, his little film has had a terrible effect on the sleepy village. Funny, poignant and elaborately staged, Gilliam's perseverance has paid off with this project thirty years in the making.
