After reading de Cervantes Don Quixote I was left questioning why this was one of the most widely read and loved fictions of all time. Leaning more about the true story of De Cervantes helped shed light on the story and it's impact on modern literature, but did little for my understanding of Don Quixote.
Chris Poche's modern interpretation of the classic is truly refreshing, it is simple and clever. I now have a much better understanding of the story De Cervantes was trying to tell in his time. This film's simplicity forces the viewer to engage in the wit of dialogue and characters. Poche does not rely on CGI And large budgets to make up for the lack of dialogue and story like the vast majority of film forced upon us in the past decade. This film is funny as well as thought provoking. It is also safe for young families, and lends itself to honest and thought provoking conversation about history, and current social issues.
Wonderful work!
