Don Quixote 1992

One man scorned and covered with scars still strove with his last ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars and the world will be better for this.

Directed by Orson Welles

A posthumous 1992 reconstruction of Orson Welles’s long-unfinished Don Quixote project, edited by Jesús Franco from footage shot between 1957 and 1972, following Don Quixote and Sancho Panza as they wander modern Spain in pursuit of chivalric ideals. (Note: This version represents a later editorial assembly, not a film completed by Welles.)
