The Making or "Unmaking" of "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote"

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: "Lost in La Mancha" is an excellent documentary on Terry Gilliam's failed attempt to make "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" as his dreams comes crashing down.
Review: One of the greatest stories in Spanish literature, the story of Don Quixote about an old man from La Mancha who lives in his adventures with companion Sancho Panza. The story of "Man of La Mancha" were so celebrated, the attempts of adapting the...

"I Was Mad, But I Am Sane Now": Terry Gilliam Gets Lost In La Mancha

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line enjoys candlelight dinners, romantic walks on the beach, and tilting at windmills.
Review: I imagine Terry Gilliam, in one of his past lives, was a fascist dictator who promoted soul-sucking propaganda while squashing all modes of art, in an attempt at controlling the minds of the public. It's the only explanation I can come up with for...

They Sure Tried to Kill Don Quixote, Anyway

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2008
The Bottom Line: Lost in La Mancha is an excellent record of movie making gone horribly wrong.  Worth watching for film buffs, Gilliam fans, and Quixote-philes.
Review: Always fascinating is the failed film project.  Usually it happens in pre-production, or pre-pre-production, when stars drop out or financing falls through, or a decent script never materializes.  Such famous recent near-films, whether close to...

DVD Extras Nudge An Otherwise Floundering Documentary Up: "Lost In La Mancha"

Date of Review:  Sep 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: A thin documentary stretches the collapse of a film into 90 minutes and is bailed out on DVD by the bonus disc.
Review: For those unfamiliar with my many, many reviews, I am an avid movie buff, a fan of documentaries and a fan of the works of Terry Gilliam. Gilliam's masterpiece "Brazil" (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/content_59222232708 ) remains the reigning...

Gilliam's Burden of Dreams

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2003
The Bottom Line: It's a must for Terry Gilliam fans and anybody interested in the process of making movies.
Review: "Lost In La Mancha"
(***1/2)
By Collin Souter

It's amazing how some movies actually do get made. It's amazing what studios will put up with just to make a summer or Christmas deadline, the amount of money poured into a vanity...

The Events Which Killed Don Quixote

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: An oft-fascinating and revealing insight into the infirmity of film production and the scandalous mismanagement of manpower, time, finances and resources
Review: Even prior to the first day of shooting, there were ominous storm clouds looming over Terry Gilliam's production of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. By the third day, the real storm clouds had wiped out his entire set, destroyed valuable equipment...

Truly the curse of Don Quixote

Date of Review:  Jul 29, 2009
The Bottom Line: A must see for budding filmmakers to gain knowledge and plan for the worst.  It is a very different "making of" film that others out there.
Review: "Lost in La Mancha" is a great movie for filmmakers and people who want to learn about the makings of a film.  Showing that it is not always glitz and glamour; sometimes things just go terribly wrong.  Many aspects were covered that showed the...

Tilting at Windmills - Gilliam's Nightmare

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Excellent documentary that stands up as a quality film in it's own right. You hope that Gilliam succeeds in making his film.
Review: 'Lost in La Mancha' is an absorbing an entertaining documentary on Director Terry Gilliam's failed attempts to finally make his epic film of Don Quixote.

Although a documentary, 'La Mancha' should appeal not only to fans of the director...

The Visionary vs. The Money Men

Date of Review:  May 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: While cinematically uninspired and depressing as heck, this film portrays Murphy's Law as applied to the creative process.
Review: Early in the documentary Lost in La Mancha, we see Terry Gilliam in pre-production on a film entitled The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. He has just cast a few local actors to portray giants in the film, and after costuming them he gives them all a...

Cinematic tilting at windmills

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: Like watching a cinematic train wreck
Review: For film buffs, the documentary Lost in La Mancha offers almost too many metaphors to count--but certainly enough to satisfy directors Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe. The duo was originally on the sidelines of a major movie, and then their little...
