 Synopsis |
|
DON QUIXOTE
Perhaps the most fascinating component of the films directed by
Orson Welles was the masterpiece he never lived to complete.
Beginning in 1957 and continuing on-and-off for the next 15 years,
Welles self-financed and directed an audacious film version of
Cervantes' Don Quixote which brought the legendary knight and his
rotund aide Sancho Panza out of 16th century Andalusia
But despite his genius behind the camera, Welles was remarkably
neglectful in maintaining and preserving the footage he created and
much of his work was considered lost. However, throughout the 1980s
and early 1990s the Spanish filmmakers Jess Franco tracked down
nearly all of the surviving footage, finished the incomplete
soundtrack based on Welles' notes, restored the footage where they
could and offered a reconstructed Don Quixote de Orson Welles in
1992 |
