Poor Terry Gilliam. I REALLY hope he gets to make this film someday.

Love Gilliam's work, but this look into the disasters of film making just isnt that engaging to me.

If your in the biz you'll totally get this. I'm an actor but I've AD'd before, and didn't have to deal with anything near this bad. Those French producers should be shot as they were extra cooks. And I live 10 miles from a nato range. Jets have ruined more voice recording sessions than I can count. This would have been a brilliant movie and I really feel sorry for Jean in the end as he probably feels guilty for something that he couldn't control. Could luck with the next try Terry!

Should be required viewing for film industry professionals, and on that level, makes an effective horror film. The best and saddest moment comes when his Sancho (or, 1st AD) sides with the Windmills even after Gilliam kept the producers from firing him. Gilliam: "When I'm getting fucked I like to be warned in advance." Wouldn't we all.

A very interesting look into the production by an inspiring director, made all the better when learning that the film is back in pre-production with Michael Palin on board.

strange, unique and very good.

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

Interesting look behind the scenes of a movie production which failed miserably.

Here we see the real story of Gilliam tilting at his own windmills, and losing spectacularly. Very painful; but lots of movies die in similar ways, and we never know about it. This is a good record of how things, and especially how MANY things, can go wrong. DVD includes extensive and notable extras including long and charming interviews with Gilliam. Post-IMAGINARIUM, Gilliam claims to be returning to QUIXOTE. Better luck this time, we hope.

A documentary about the circumstances that killed Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote movie, "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote". A fascinating glimpse into Gilliam's movie-making process, the potential of what could have been and the situations that brought production to a halt. My only complaint is that this film felt uneven - preproduction was interesting, filming and the disasters were incredible, but everything that followed wasn't so much and the film ended rather abruptly.

Just pains you to think what an interesting movie this could have been.

It's definitely an interesting look at the production process of a film, primarily because 1. Hey, the production process is interesting 2. It's less a "how to do" and more of a "here's the worst-case scenario". It was interesting in that vein, but aside from the subject matter I didn't really find it that "arresting", although I'm doubtful that would be possible. Just felt more academic than entertaining at the end of the day. I hope this film gets made though. Score is not a grade.

If nothing else, this film was the biggest happy accident ever. For the filmmakers to accatch on tape everything that went wrong with this production is spectacular. As a filmmaker, this film is a nightmare. The flood was particularly disturbing.

A testament to Gilliam's runaway ambition, this behind-the-scenes peek at the Creative Process offers much of interest to the filmmaker's champions and detractors alike.

Essential viewing for those interested in the workings of filmmaking, with delicious parallels with Quixote.

"Gilliam's impassioned demand for the impossible is seen as his Achilles Heel." - Ed Gonzalez

A typical example of murphy's law. Everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Poor Terry.

Another great documentary about production hell. Unlike Burden of Dreams and Heart of Darkness, this one ends in tragedy. Hopefully Gilliam someday has another shot at producing what looks like an incredible film.
