Lost in La Mancha - 7/10
Documentary about Terry Gilliam's thwarted attempt at making a film version of Don Quixote starring Jean Rochefort and Johnny Depp. I was kind of disappointed in this film only for the reason that it was hyped up as this brilliant and 'heartbreakingly hilarious' documentary and I found it to be neither. It was a passable entertainment and I am sure it would have been a great film (the film the docu is about) but for the fact that it was doomed from the start, lol. Worth watching if you are into moviemaking, but probably boring if you are not.
