Don Quixote and his ill-fated quest on the big screen
Overview
Intro
Why does the legend of Don Quixote seem to bring bad luck to the cinema?
Why do even the greatest film directors find it so difficult to bring Don Quixote to the screen? For decades, Cervantes’ masterpiece seems to have been dogged by a veritable cinematic curse, with film shoots cut short, productions abandoned and projects that have become the stuff of legend.
Through a lecture richly illustrated with film clips, Patrick Crispini, conductor and specialist in film music, invites you to explore the behind-the-scenes story of this fascinating ‘cursed quest’. An opportunity to discover the links between literature, cinema and music, whilst looking back at some of the most memorable – or most eventful – adaptations in the history of cinema.
The evening will continue with a raclette served after the lecture.
