Lost in La Mancha

It's the ultimate evolutionary form of the movie-madness documentary genre.

...a tantalising vision of an unmade masterpiece.

In documenting the unfortunate comedy of errors leading up to the film's failure, Fulton and Pepe both reveal the difficulties of making a film outside the Hollywood studio system and Gilliam's quixotic approach to his material.

A masterfully constructed, fly-on-the-wall revelation, which not only shows what went wrong with The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, but also proves how painfully dedicated a director Terry Gilliam is.

...remains a frank and fascinating spectacle, as one man's 10-year cinematic odyssey painfully disintegrates.
