The film tells the story of a deluded old man who is convinced he is Don Quixote (Jonathan Pryce), and who mistakes Toby (Adam Driver), an advertising executive, for his trusty squire, Sancho Panza. The pair embark on a bizarre journey, jumping back and forth in time between the 21st and magical 17th century. Gradually, like the infamous knight himself, Toby becomes consumed by the illusory world and unable to determine his dreams from reality. The tale culminates in a phantasmagorical and emotional finale where Toby takes on the mantle of Don Quixote de la Mancha.

This is a film in which almost the last lines are “Don Quixote will never die!” that is dedicated to Jean Rochefort and John Hurt, two of its prior Don Quixotes who did. It’s hard to tell if the fact that it exists is happy ending enough, or if the compromises of its existence mean it ought to have stayed forever in the ether, like Jodorowsky‘s “Dune.”
