Synopsis
After 17 years of pre-production comes 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote', a classic fantasy and adventure story inspired by the legendary literary protagonist of Miguel de Cervantes: Don Quixote.
'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote' tells the story of an old man convinced that he is Don Quixote and who confuses Toby, an advertising executive, with his faithful squire, Sancho Panza. The couple embark on a strange journey, with leaps back and forth in time, between the present 21st century and the magical seventeenth century. Little by little Toby, like the infamous gentleman, gets caught up in the illusionary world and becomes incapable of separating dream and reality.

What the critics say average 5.9 from 4
- 6.7 The PlaylistJessica Kiang
"It is certainly too long and too messy, too indulgent in some parts and too starved in others to be an unqualified success. But the surprise of it is that there are times, like the inspired first…
Read - 6.7 IndiewireEric Kohn
"A messy but singular achievement that strains to make its disparate parts fit together, but there?s a noble spirit of invention to its wackiness anyway".
Read - 6.0 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw
"It is a film of sweet gaiety and cheerful good nature, an interesting undertow of poignancy, and with a lovely leading turn from Jonathan Pryce".
