 La Mancha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name of 'La Mancha' comes from the words in antique arabian "ma-ansha" which means "no-water" (and it is not related to "al-manxa", meaning "the balcony").
Until XVI century, the east part was also called Mancha de Monte-Aragón, because of the name of the mountains that were the old border between La Mancha and kingdom of Valencia, and to the rest simply Mancha.

En primer lu-gar, está la cuestión siempre subjetiva de la credibilidad que varía en función de la manera de entender el cine y la vida de cada especta-dor, pero que resulta esencial en una película como esta, que aspira a que vivamos intensa-mente la peripecia emocional de sus protago-nistas y que tiene una doble vertiente.
En estos tiempos en el que la tendencia suele ser un sinfín de películas con un buen punto de partida y una torpe resolución, no deja de ser estimulante encontrarse con una película que crece según avanza su metraje, pese a todos sus defec-tos.
Uno tiene la sensación que gran parte de estos logros, destacando la só-lida construcción narrativa del relato, tiene que ver con la novela original.

La Mancha propiamente dicha es la altiplanicie más extendida de toda la Península Ibérica.

As documentaries go, "Lost in La Mancha" does exactly what it sets out to do, describing the picture Gilliam was hoping to make and showing just how wrong it went.
There's something mournfully claustrophobic about "Lost in La Mancha," which directors Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe put together from footage shot during the "making" of Gilliam's film (at Gilliam's invitation) and from interviews that were done both during the filming and after the fact.
But "Lost in La Mancha" is wrenching because it makes you believe that, with better luck and not much else, Gilliam could have pulled it off.

 Lost in La Mancha
In a genre that exists to hype films before their release, Lost In La Mancha presents an unexpected twist: it is the story of a film that does not exist.
Lost In La Mancha is less a process piece about filmmakers at work and more a powerful drama about the inherent fragility of the creative process -- a compelling study of how, even with an abundance of the best will and passion, the artistic endeavor can remain an impossible dream.
Lost in La Mancha gives the viewer a unique insight into the way in which films are made and unmade, a glimpse at the peculiar fragility of filmmaking as an art form, and a portrait of the insanity and nobility of the creative spirit.

 Lost in La Mancha (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
This is the questioned posed by `Lost in La Mancha,' a behind-the-scenes chronicle of director Terry Gilliam's attempt to fulfill his decade-long dream of bringing Cervantes' `Don Quixote' to the big screen, a project that ended up in heartbreaking, catastrophic failure for both the filmmaker and the gifted crew with which he was working.
`Lost in La Mancha' is an instructive film on a technical level, but also immensely sad on an emotional one.
Because we know from the beginning that this venture is doomed to failure, even the moments of hope and optimism early on in the film carry with them an air of fatalistic melancholy.

Or maybe the damage was already done, not necessarily in pre-production — although it too had its fair share of disasters — but simply the idea of adapting Don Quixote to begin with.
