Description
Named one of the top ten films of 2007 by Cahiers du Cinema, Albert Serra’s adaptation of Don Quixote is appropriately quixotic. Faithful to the mad spirit of Cervantes rather than the specifics of the novel, Serra perfectly cast a retired tennis coach and a construction worker as Quixote and Sancho Panza, (both of whom give performances at once haunting and hilarious) and shifts the focus towards the interstitial moments shared by the idling adventurers.
