An event that you cannot miss. A free screening of the movie, both at 7pm and 9:00pm. “It’s a great pleasure to celebrate the beginning of the new year together with our honorary citizen Terry Gilliam – said the mayor of Montone, Mirco Rinaldi -. An exceptional evening for our area that enriches this holiday period, already full of events for children and adults”.

Before the screening of the movie at the San Fedele Auditorium a tasting of traditional products with toast included is held. The event is organized in collaboration with the Comune of Montone, Umbria Film Festival, Postmodernissimo e Residenza Instabili.

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote is a 2018 movie directed and co-written by Terry Gilliam.

Freely inspired by the Don Quixote of Miguel de Cervantes, the movie is known as one of the more extreme examples of development hell within film history, with as much as eight attempts of the director to realize it in a time range of twenty years.

The protagonist of the movie is Toby (Adam Driver), a young commercial director who is cynical and disenchanted and who finds himself trapped into the crazy illusion of an old shoemaker (Jonathan Pryce) convinced of being Don Quixote. Toby, after leaving for a more and more surreal adventure, is forced to face the tragical consequences of a movie which he realized when he still was a young idealist: that student movie, adapted from Cervantes’ book, changes forever the dreams and hopes of a small Spanish village. Will Toby be able to redeem himself and find some humanity? Will Don Quixote survive his own madness? Or will love win over everything else?

We are waiting for you to find out.

Your participation at the event can be reserved by calling the following number – 348 73 86 329 – from 9:00am to 6:00pm.
