The Making of Quixote

[Donald McKinney]

OK, so I got a copy of the Radio Times tribute issue about Monty Python. On the page about what Terry Gilliam did next, it had this blurb about The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, and why it hasn't been released in the UK yet, I can guess Paulo Branco's hand in that. :/

Sounds like the film could be distributed in the UK by Sparky Pictures : https://twitter.com/SparkyPictures/statu...1507065858

The Saturday September 21 BFI screening has been sold out, but another screening has been added for the same day, also with Gilliam giving an introduction: https://whatson.bfi.org.uk/Online/defaul...context_id=

Apparently the UK release by Sparky Pictures has been confirmed at the BFI screening : https://mobile.twitter.com/davistruk/sta...2149675010

In other news, Paulo Branco has finally been sentenced by the Paris high court to pay a compensation of 60 000 euros to the companies of Kinology, Star Invest and Ocean Films Distribution and was denied any rights over "The man who killed Don Quixote" :

That should set a precedent and put an end to this judicial nonsense fairly quickly...

This is really great news!

BTW, I Google-translated the article for the Terry Gilliam Reddit page:

Here is the first short review for "He dreams of Giants" :

The saga of the MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE brought to its conclusion had me smiling from ear to ear and raising the hair on the back of my neck. A wondrous summing up of the decades long quest, that is also a glorious exploration of the obsessive need to create as viewed via the life of director Terry Gilliam.
