This page is to obtain ONLINE access to the Sands Films Cinema Club presentation of DON QUIXOTE on Tuesday 18th October
To attend in person, please CLICK HERE
Following our very loose thread of “Film and Theatre” here is another plays adaptation by major film director:
DON QUIXOTE (1957) by Grigori Kozintsev
The screening will start at 8.00 pm as the film is 1h 50m long
Having recently revisited both Grigory Kozintsev HAMLET and KING LEAR, it was therefore inevitable that we should now have a look at Don Quixote. Starring Nikolay Cherkasov the great Soviet actor.
A “medieval dreamer in a sixteenth-century post-medieval world,”* Don Quixote confronts present with past. His head full of books and in the clouds, trying to right the world’s wrongs, this noble knight is grounded, if at all, by the humanity of his devoted squire, Sancho Panza. “I must follow my path despite all the world,” he says.
