abstract:Lost in La Mancha (2002) is a documentary film narrated by Jeff Bridges about Terry Gilliam's failed first attempt to make The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, a film adaptation of the novel Don Quixote. Lost in La Mancha presents Gilliam's quest to make this movie as a parallel to Quixote's quest to become a hero.
If these disasters were the only draw, "Lost inLaMancha" might itself get lostin the dustbin of documentary history, where parochial films lie stuffed with forgettable facts.
