Like Orson Welles before him, Terry Gilliam spent much of his career
struggling to bring a Don Quixote project to the screen. That ambition was
finally realised with last year's
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
Directed by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe, who previously gave
us the 2002 Gilliam doc Lost in la Mancha, He Dreams of Giants charts Gilliam's long journey to
completing his passion project.
He Dreams of Giants is on UK Digital from March 29th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
A moving and heartfelt tribute to a seemingly insurmountable artistic quest, He Dreams of Giants follows visionary icon Terry Gilliam’s final journey to finish his elusive passion-project, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
This touching documentary is a potent study of creative obsession. Combining immersive footage of Gilliam’s production with intimate interviews and archival footage from the director’s entire career, He Dreams Of Giants is a revealing character study of an artist, and a meditation on the value of creativity in the face of mortality.
