The Man Who Killed Don QuixoteΒ at the Guild Cinema
Friday-Monday, May 17-20 – 4:30 & 7:00 pm daily

Directed by Terry Gilliam – 2019 – 135m

Terry Gilliam’s epic tale, decades in the making, finally sees the light of day! Β Jonathan Pryce and Adam Driver star in the film that audience have been waiting on for years!

Toby (Adam Driver), a cynical advertising director, finds himself trapped in the outrageous delusions of an old Spanish shoe-maker (Jonathan Pryce) who believes himself to be Don Quixote. In the course of their comic and increasingly surreal adventures, Toby is forced to confront the tragic repercussions of a film he made in his idealistic youth — a film that changed the hopes and dreams of a small Spanish village forever. Can Toby make amends and regain his humanity? Can Don Quixote survive his madness and imminent death? Or will love conquer all?

β€œWitty, goofy, and glorious, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is Terry Gilliam’s best film in two decades.” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

β€œMore than just a cinematic joyride, however, Gilliam is offering a commentary on the exploitative nature of filmmaking; a critique of Hollywood as colonising force.” – Keva York, ABC News (Australia)
