I'm about to watch "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, " and thought I'd get a refresher before diving in.
A quite atmospheric video! Helpful and snappy!
From the little I've read of the novel, and from the numerous references, quotes, parodies, a band named after the Giants, and more, Don Quixote is one of my favourite things ever. His style and look, his virtues and character, the story and people and adventure and ideas and history and Cervantes own life... It seems as if the universe is telling me to read past the first chapter, haha...!

Thanks for the little nudge to that eventual future! :=)
