Product Description

In rural Spain on a commercial shoot, once-promising director Toby Grisoni (Adam Driver) larks over to the nearby town where he'd lensed a student film of "Don Quixote," hoping to locate Javier (Jonathan Pryce), the local cobbler he cast as his lead. Toby finds the old man in the firm grip of the delusion that he's actually Cervantes' knight errant... and guiltily finds himself drawn into Javier's eccentric toils. Terry Gilliam's long-in-and-out-of-development opus co-stars Stellan Skarsgård, Olga Kurylenko. 133 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.

    This film is a masterpiece of modern cinema, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on the blu ray. I was very worried it might not have all the scenes or the same soundtrack as the version I had watched online, but this blu ray was gorgeous and didn't have a second of footage missing. This is a movie I will watch over and over again, and seeing as the disc ran perfectly and the case didn't have a single bit of damage, that will be easy to do.
    Since this is one of my favorite films of all time, I was very anxious about it arriving quickly, and true to the word I was given, it arrived the exact day it was promised. I was overjoyed.
    From the witty, dramatic, and sometimes intense script, to the gorgeous sets and costumes, the heart pounding soundtrack, and the greatest performance of Adam Driver's career so far, this movie offered me everything I could ever want from a film, and delivered on every level, plus more.
    The only thing that slightly bothered me was that the original poster art for the film wasn't used for the cover of the blu ray, but that's hardly significant. I'm just thankful this film got a blu ray release at all. And the artwork is far form the worst I've seen.
    Overall, I believe this film is a must see for everyone, due to its grand and exciting story, flawless performances, heart filled depth of character, and mastery of old fashioned adventure story telling. A triumph of filmmaking, the film truly lives up to its catch phrase...
    It is a marvelous day for adventures

    This movie was thought provoking and the acting is very good. Adam Driver's versatility really shines in this one.

    Spoilers: It's a strange tale of a pretty selfish and cowardly man (Toby) and the fallout caused by a movie he made in a small Spanish village years ago. Jonathon Pryce is wonderful as the old shoemaker, Javier, who is convinced he is Don Quixote. He really gives an excellent performance and conjured a lot of sympathy from me. Toby falls in love with the village girl, Angelica, who had been in his movie long ago and is all grown up now. I found Toby's character frustrating because he was never able to overcome his selfishness and cowardice, though it seemed that he wanted to at times. Even when he did decide to do something he was ineffective at it. It's as if only by taking on another persona (Don Quixote) was he able to become a braver and more noble person, like he had just given up on Toby and decided to be someone else or was driven to madness by the callousness of those around him and the trauma of having caused Javier's death. The whole Sancho and Quixote weird attraction (because Toby now thought Angelica was Sancho) thing at the end threw me off a bit too. This movie left me not quite sure what to think of it. That being said I do think it was worthwhile and interesting. It will give you something to ponder. ;-)

    This film begs comparison with /The Fisher King/ because both are grounded firmly in reality. An absurd reality, perhaps, but reality nonetheless. Oh, and the both involve mad people.
    But beyond that there is little comparison. A director returns to the scene of an earlier picture (about Don Quixote) and finds the cobbler he cast in the role still convinced he is Don Quixote. A great deal of stuff ensues, including some very interesting dreams.
    In the end, though, one is left with the feeling that, presented with the choice of growing up or going mad, the director made an unfortunate choice.
    Very early reports cited "time travel", no doubt influenced by /Time Bandits/ and /12 Monkeys/. Perhaps that would have made a more satisfying movie.

    Even as a fan of Terry Gilliam (my favorite film until now was the Adventures of Baron Munchausen), I know that his work is sometimes hit or miss (Time Bandits was awesome, Brazil was joyless, and Parnassus was very flawed), so I was unsure how this one would pan out.
    By the end of it, my mind was blown and this may be my new favorite movie of all time. Gilliam seamlessly seduced me into a world where I didn't know what was fantasy or reality, with top notch sets and great performances. Honestly, I am glad that we had to wait for the Adam Driver version of this movie versus the original Johnny Depp version, as I don't know how Driver's performance could be topped.
    If you view film as a worthy medium for high art, do yourself a favor and watch this.

    The film is typical Terry Gilliam, which in my book is a good thing. A strange retelling of the Don Quixote story, with a young filmmaker getting railroaded into playing Sancho Panza for a deluded old man who thinks he's Don Quixote. Lots of surreal, dream-like scenes where you're never quite sure what's real and what isn't. Visually beautiful. The actual movie I'd give four stars, possibly five.

    But the blu-ray gets a one. It has several unskippable commercials at the beginning that you have to watch every time you put the disc in. For the life of me, I can't understand why the people who produce these discs think that's a good idea - they just prejudiced me against ever watching any of the movies you forced me to sit through previews of, just because of how annoying it was.

    Also, the "bonus features" on the disc are just a handful of short (5 minute), fluffy prefabricated promos to pitch the movie. Nothing substantial at all. You'd think with this movie's backstory (20+ years in the making, going through two completely different casts) that a decent hour-long "making of" documentary would be a no-brainer. But, once again, whoever put this disc together apparently had no brain.

    That said, if you like Terry Gilliam movies and haven't see this one yet, it's worth seeing. Just don't buy the blu-ray.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 25 years in the making
    Reviewed in Australia on September 30, 2019
    Adam Driver essentially plays Terry Gilliam the director. Terry Gilliam's frustrated obsessive 25 years in the making of Don Quixote took many manifestations and this is the final result. Mad, wild and hallucinatory to say the least. Dream within a dream. Adam Driver is trying to film an epic movie based on his obsession of Don Quixote with ruthless producers and investors circling the director like vultures with a evil Russian billionaire bank-rolling the film. The Spanish landscape cinematography is beautifully captured in the surreal landscape of real and illusion. A great Terry Gilliam movie.

    Estamos hablando de una película de Terry Gilliam, El Hombre que mató al Quijote de La Mancha es la suma de varias locuras y una breve historia de amor.

    Vale un buen vistazo, lo merece después de todos los sinsabores que tuvo que pasar la producción.

    This is quite the film, with some really out-there bits that fit the story well.

    Say what you will for reimagining's like this; it really commits to the bit.
