Honor of the Knights

Spain

Odd treatment of the story of the quest of Don Quixote and his pal Sancho Panza. The film consisted of slow, quiet scenes of the two men making their way through an unspoiled landscape, pausing to rest, cool off. The Don would harangue Sancho with his insights into social order, religion and the nature of life. Then they would continue.

Many contemplative shots of the characters staring into nothingness. The overall effect was one of peaceful reflection...as a film I can't imagine very many people appreciating it.
