El hombre que mató a don Quijote de Terry Gilliam (2018) desde la transversalidad de la recreación

Abstract

In this study, I undertake an analysis of Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018), a cinematographic recreation of Cervantes’s Don Quixote. I will scrutinise its themes, formal resources, and characterization in relation to other ways of recreation (primarily, the literary and musical ones), while paying special attention to the identity of the protagonists, the metafictional procedures, and the strategies employed in order to reword some of the main episodes of the original novel. In this sense, this study allows for an understanding of the Cervantine text from a transversal perspective.
