Summary: Over the course of his lifetime, the legendary director Orson Welles (1915-1985) was forced to leave many of his grander movie-making projects unfinished, generally for want of sustained financial backing. Each successive unfinished effort generated buzz throughout the worshipful film community that only served to brighten the luster of his legend. Thus it was only a matter of time before one of his many admirers bought the rights to the fairly extensive footage he shot for his film Don Quixote (begun in 1955) and attempted to edit it into some semblance of a finished film...

More a broken workprint than a movie, it is made even worse by the terrible voice-overs. They could have made much better out of the material if they had made a documentary about it.

It's difficult to rate such a broken film; works better as a silent picture due to the atrocious voice-overs [really? A faux-Welles narration?], exaggerated acting, & vivid imagery. This is barely watchable but I found myself enjoying parts of it, as time went on, once I accepted its condition - only the most devout of Welles fans need apply (and track down the spanish version).

Seeing this, one can only wish that Welles had completed the essay-film that he had hoped to finish (using this footage) before his death. As broken and chopped apart as the existing workprints are, the available shots are still beautifully composed, and I found the voiceovers to be ridiculously befitting in the context of the presentation. Alas.

The poor dubbing is amateurly acted and never comes close to matching the lip movements. The editing is choppy and slapped together. But you can see flashes of genius in the choice to drop our heroes into modern society. At first it seemed like a silly idea, but when Welles himself shows up it's a clever bit of self-reference. It's weird and it certainly needs a lot of retooling, but it's a glimpse of what could have been. What we're left with is deeply flawed but occasionally fascinating.
