In 2000, director Terry Gilliam set out to make a weird and off-kilter film adaptation of Cervantes' Don Quixote starring Johnny Depp, and when he started making his movie, he allowed a few folks to tag along and film everything for their own "making-of" documentary. The result is Lost in La Mancha, the ensuing documentary that detailed the incredible bad luck and untimely demise of Gilliam's production, as a series of rather unfortunate events resulted in the movie being shut down and never being completed. This is a fascinating look at a movie production gone wrong - you know how many "making-of" documentaries are out there that show movies being made from start to finish? Here we have a well-made documentary about one of these big productions getting screwed up, and it's a fascinating and kind of heart breaking look at something that most people never get to see.
