The Man Who Killed Don Quuixote (throwback BIFF 2018)

 Finch delivers BIFF again!  The first film of the day, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.  It's kind of a sequel to the documentary Lost in La Mancha, since the production was so messed up in in earlier attempts. 

The final cut was a great film, but somehow disappointing.  I think the enormity of Quixote's imaginative delusions is blooms in print but exasperates in film. The massiveness of the insanity of Quixote is too large, perhaps, to bottle-neck through the lens.  Also, we all know that Gilliam is able to carry an image of his are and make it real, so perhaps in chasing this image that was clear in his dreams was too much bitten off for even him to chew.

The story in interesting and always inviting and appealing with incredible visuals and roads towards Lost in La Mancha.
