Seventeen years after the debacle chronicled in Lost in La Mancha, the same documentary team returns to Spain to witness director Terry Gilliam’s final tilt at making the Don Quixote movie of his fever dreams. He has tried six more times to make the film and is now 78, but no less determined; this time around there are no great disasters, but Gilliam is consumed not only by the usual budget problems but his own demons, revealed in intimate interviews where he wrestles with the question of what to do – what any artist can do – once he has realised his lifelong ambition. The result is both a revealing portrait of an uncompromising artist and a meditation on the creative drive itself.
