Another American trailer for Terry Gilliam's 'He Dreams of Giants' documentary

"Don't finish it, leave it as a dream..." Bohemia Media is finally releasing this cinematic documentary in the US on VOD starting in August. 20 years after the documentary Lost in La Mancha (2002), Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe return to follow Terry Gilliam's final successful attempt on the set of The Man Who Killed Don Quixote< /em> – which debuted in 2018. From the same team behind La Mancha, He Dreams of Giants is the culmination of a trilogy of documentaries following the director Terry Gilliam over a period of 25 years. Tracing his final, beleaguered quest to adapt Don Quixote, this film is a powerful study in creative obsession. Using truth footage from Gilliam's production with intimate interviews + archival footage from across the director's career, He Dreams of Giants is an eye-opening character study of an artist in late career path and a meditation on the value of unabashed creativity in the face of mortality. Since both movies (doc + Quixote) were released internationally a few years ago and didn't get great reviews, I don't know if anyone still wants to watch that?

Here is the official US trailer (+ poster) for Fulton and Pepe's documentary He Dreams of Giants, on YouTube:

For nearly 30 years, Terry Gilliam struggled to make a screen adaptation of Don Quixote, including an abandoned attempt chronicled in Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe's 2002 documentary Lost in La Mancha . Terry Gilliam has never given up, and neither have documentarians. He Dreams of Giants represents the culmination of all their efforts in an epic and poignant portrait. We watch as Gilliam brings all of his talent, obsession and humor to bear on self-doubt, the pressure of compromise and the need to achieve a long-held dream. He dreams of giants is again co-directed by filmmakers Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe, both makers of the documentaries Lost in La Mancha and The Bad Kids, and the film Brothers of the Head em> previously. This was originally shown at DOC NYC & AFI Fest in 2019. The film already opened in the UK last March. Bohemia Media will release He Dreams of Giants on VOD in the United States starting August 9, 2022.
