Lost in La Mancha
They’ve got a story, but have lost the plot.
Directed by Keith Fulton, Louis Pepe
Produced by Quixote Films, Low Key Productions
A darkly comic documentary about creative ambition colliding with chaos, capturing both the human bonds and mounting despair of a doomed film production.
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.
