...fated recent effort to make a Don Quixote movie is chronicled in this new documentary. After a difficult pre-production period, Gilliam’s film is slapped with a malicious case of Murphy’s Law once it begins shooting.

Dean will have a role to play: he'll sharpen the others, teach them how to speak English, force them to clarify their positions. But I suspect that a year from now, when the voting begins, the public will be more in the mood for comfort food--perhaps even macaroni and cheese...
