Lost in La Mancha (2002)

dir: Keith Fulton, Louis Pepe

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 (which has never been resurrected).

Very depressing, but also a valuable insight into the madness that is a major movie production, or perhaps especially a major Terry Gilliam production.

"For of all sad words of tongue or pen/The saddest are these: It might have been!" And Lost in La Mancha left me very sad, indeed. The few moments of footage that were shot for Terry Gilliam's aborted project, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, were great. We will almost surely never get to see what might have been, but it sure looked like an excellent film.

The summary says it all. Intriguing movie about how even one of the most acclaimed directors in the world sometimes not only doesn't get the film right, but doesn't get to make a complete film at all
