Honour of the Knights
There are no windmills, only wind-and trees and grass and sunlight extinguishing the dawn-in writer-director Albert Serra's extraordinary, minimalist/naturalist take on the Don Quixote story.
Honour Of The Knights takes inspiration not just from Cervantes, but also from an exhaustive litany of other literary and cinematic sources. It is most affecting, however, as a spare yet soulful study of two lone figures against an unspoiled landscape-the last refuge, perhaps, from a world that no longer resembles a bygone "golden age" of peace and prosperity.

Is this art or a waste of money?
The Don and Sancho wander around in picturesque Catalonian countryside. They walk a bit, talk a bit, sleep a bit and swim a bit and that's the whole film.
Only for hard core art film buffs or students of the Catalan language. -

How to make a file for less than £100
Acting required: Nil
Costumes required: Very little
Looks like it was made in the local park with a camcorder.
Did the people who gave it awards actually watch it?
Contains spoiler? Nothing in the film to spoil.
One of the worst films i've seen in nearly 60 years -
