 Lost In La Mancha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lost in La Mancha presents Gilliam's quest to make this movie as eerily similar to Quixote's quest to become a hero.
On the first day of shooting, the crew discovered that their outdoor filming location was plagued by nearly constant noise from a nearby NATO aircraft target practice area.
The Lost in La Mancha filmmakers, Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe, previously made a documentary about Gilliam's film Twelve Monkeys, titled The Hamster Factor and Other Tales of Twelve Monkeys, and were strongly supported by Gilliam throughout their filming.

 Lost in La Mancha - A Review
Early in “Lost,” the filmmakers provide several animated sequences to fill in the background for Quixote and Gilliam, which are a nice change of scenery.
Even better is the precis of Gilliam’s past filmmaking career, done very much in the Gilliam-Python style, by Chaim Bianco.
“Lost” was finished just three days before its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in early 2002, and was screened at other festivals in

Lost in La Mancha is not so much a "making of", more an "unmaking of" documentary which follows director Terry Gilliam through eight weeks of pre-production, six days of filming and finally the aftermath as his long planned feature The Man Who Killed Don Quixote falls apart.
Lost In La Mancha is a great opportunity to see that mind at work - in the build up to the filming of his long-cherished Don Quixote project.
Lost In La Mancha is a great study of film making though because it gets right to the heart of the matter - you really feel for the crew struggling to keep things together, admire Gilliam for his perseverance....

 Lost in La Mancha
Lost in La Mancha is enjoyable on two levels.
Still, the most fascinating aspect of Lost in La Mancha is watching Gilliam and crew press forward while slowly realizing their efforts are futile.
The one bad thing about Lost in La Mancha is that viewers will not be able to see Gilliam's vision come to life (at least not in the near future).

“La Mancha” is a good study in how chaotic filmmaking is, especially for independent and low-budget filmmakers.
While “Lost in La Mancha” is humorous, showing the many difficulties of making any film, it is also sad, not only for Gilliam and his staff, but for us moviegoers as well.
“La Mancha,” does include some clips of the Gilliam’s film, from test scenes, pre-production work, and a few actual finished scenes, and we cannot help but wonder about the movie that would have been.

"Lost in La Mancha" tells the story of Terry Gilliam's aborted attempt to film "Don Quixote," and it's almost too painful to watch.
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.

Lost in La Mancha's story of a floundering film production is a lot more common than the industry would like us to know.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
I've been lucky enough to see over two hours of edited and unedited footage from this major lost work, and it seems to me that it was made with relatively little struggle and a great deal of joy.
It is good to see something of Gilliam's conception for The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, conveyed partially through his drawings and storyboards (some of which are animated in a rudimentary fashion) and partially through his directing work, including a few glimpses of the material he managed to shoot.
By the same token, if a low-budget documentary like Lost in La Mancha winds up succeeding in the marketplace where The Man Who Killed Don Quixote never was launched, some of the credit belongs to Gilliam.

 Lost in La Mancha
The movie was Gilliam’s vision of Cervantes’ "Man of La Mancha", and something he’d tossed around since 1991.
Gilliam is quick to point out on Munchausen there was a producer who promised the stars and the moon, but simply didn’t have the budget for what he wanted to do, and Gilliam’s name was tarnished from the experience.
Lost in La Mancha has arrived as a surprising 2-disc set featuring even more insight from Gilliam.

Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe's riveting documentary "Lost in La Mancha" chronicles Gilliam's disastrous attempts to make "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote," a 2000 shoot on which everything that could go wrong went wrong.
At times during "Lost in La Mancha" several crew members refer to Gilliam's 1988 financial disaster "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen" and swear, categorically, that this is not "Munchausen 2." And in some regards they're right.
There are many apt comparisons between the director and his subject in "Lost in La Mancha," valiant dreamers tilting at windmills both.

 [Terry Gilliam] Lost in La Mancha documentary film review | Movie Forum
At once an intimate portrait of a dedicated cinematic genius and a madcap comedy of outrageous cosmic errors, “Lost In La Mancha” is the heartbreaking story of Terry Gilliam’s doom-laden attempt to bring his dream project, Cervantes’; tale of Don Quixote, to the screen in his trademarked epic/absurdist fashion.
“La Mancha” is often uncomfortably candid—when Gilliam doubts the seriousness of Rochefort’s health concerns and vows that he’s going to “kill” the actor, and there’s no doubt that he means it.
And being a documentary on Gilliam, of course the film is expected be visually inventive as well and is, embellished with live script readings and animated storyboards that mimic the filmmaker’s whimsical bits for Python.

Lost In La Mancha will have you alternately wincing, laughing and, finally, weeping at the thought that we may never see this potentially brilliant movie.
I'd like Lost in La Mancha more if it didn't take the easy but misleading route of dovetailing Gilliam's frustrations into Welles's, and then dovetailing both into Quixote's.

This is what Lost In La Mancha was meant to be, an extra on a DVD.
Is Lost In La Mancha a worthwhile addition to the documentary genre, a grab-bag attempt to recoup one cent in the dollar for the investors or something that will earn just enough money for Terry Gilliam to buy back his Quixote screenplay from the insurance company thus keeping his obsession alive?
Although plagued by an array of jaw dropping "acts of God" you can't help but feel that Lost In La Mancha was such a work of extravagance it would be better for all concerned not to highlight but confine it's memory to the annals of time.

These are memories and ruminations triggered by watching a DVD of Lost in La Mancha, a good-enough British documentary about the writer-director Terry Gilliam and his unsuccessful attempts to make a Don Quixote movie.
His main ambition seems to be to achieve images, and I don't find that the way he dramatizes them and embodies them adds much; I'm happier looking at his sketches and paintings than I am watching his movies.
My main takeaway from "La Mancha" was the extraordinary sense of entitlement the director seemed to have -- that so many people would respect and work for his often-silly "vision."

In September 2000, when the cameras began rolling on Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Don Quixote, the production already had a chequered past including ten years of development, a series of producers and two previous attempts to start the film.
Problems are quick to emerge: the multilingual crew struggles to communicate detailed ideas; actors remain absent as they run over schedule on other projects; and everything from untrained horses to a sound stage -- that isn't sound-proof -- threatens the film.
Uniquely, after Quixote’s cameras have stopped rolling, the documentary continues to record events as they unfold.
