He Dreams Of Giants

Documentary | Completed

Where LOST IN LA MANCHA documented the high-budget mad house that was Terry Gilliam's first attempt to bring the story of Don Quixote to life on screen, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS delves into the director's painstaking 30-year journey as a whole. Following their BAFTA-nomination, the original film team reunite to produce this follow up documentary; a potent character study of an artist confronted with the harsh reality of filmmaking, celebrating and challenging creative obsession and the relentless forces behind it. Both films are available for package distribution, and together offer a detailed insight into Gilliam's life's work.
