Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Breezy, at 2 hr 12 min.
What might put you off: It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

A new vision of the Knight of the sad figure, which lives obsessed by the chivalry and its codes of honor. Accompanied by his unusual squire Sancho Panza, Don Quixote recalls some of the adventures they've shared.
