A documentary about Terry Giliam‘s biggest failure through misfortune - in itself very Quixotic though.
This is way better than TMWKDQ turned out. Crazy to watch what could be referred to as the worst case scenario when making a film
A glimpse at what production hell is like and an intriguing look at the movie we thought we'd never get. One for Gilliam fans & film geeks
It shows that this was originally intended to be a tepid behind-the-scenes featurette on a DVD. Subject matter is fascinating, though.
Hilarious and sad. A movie production cursed by anything and everything. Really interesting look at movie-making.
Unexpectedly good, finally this film is finished.
An entertaining collapse of time, money, and all other resources known to man.
Great documentary for those interested in filmmaking. One of the greatest failed productions of all time and it's fun to see why.
It's always sad to see someone's vision fall into quicksand. At least it's finally been made
A disaster captured perfectly
