The Making of Quixote

[Donald McKinney]

It looks like the French are giving a two fingered salute to Paulo Branco by releasing it in French cinemas as well.

Here's more about the Branco case, he's wanting the French courts to ban the film from being screened at Cannes: https://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/e...rom-cannes

For those who didn't follow the recent developments, deadline sums it up : http://deadline.com/2018/04/cannes-don-q...202377265/

It should be obvious by now to everyone that Branco is the cinematic equivalent of a cowboy builder, as Gilliam said Branco was only attached for 4 months, he broke his promises frequently, so Gilliam let him go. I think they way Gilliam let him go is what Branco is calling into question. I don't think it has anything to do with the current incarnation of the film, Branco obviously feels Gilliam owes him for his 4 months of service.

As for Amazon not screening the footage, I thought A24 had bought into the US Distribution?
