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

She is unable to return the key on time, but it is revealed that the Beast is the genuinely handsome one. A simple tale of tragic love that turns into a surreal vision of death, desire, and beauty.

This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, ex-wife and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's subconscious mind.
