Mancha. the documentary follows acclaimed writer and director Terry Gilliam has he tries (and fails) to make a film entitled The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. The film focuses on production and the production team and how everything that could go wrong did go wrong.
I chose to review this documentary as i feel a documentary focussing on the production and the production team is a good research for my documentary on the production and production team of a musical. I also felt that the use of certain scenes could be emulated in our documentary, for example there are scenes that are simply production meetings and Terry Gilliam looking at paper work and timetables, however these scenes still come off as interesting and fun to watch if we can make our audience feel the same during similar scenes in our documentary then we would be on track to make a excellent piece. it is also useful to note how the documentary is able to capture everything that goes wrong, this is something we hope to copy into our documentary as it is of course well known that documentaries and films in general are interesting when there is large conflict driving the plot.
Over all I really enjoyed the documentary and would love to create something similar.
