After years spent reading books of chivalry, a middle-aged Spanish gentIeman (Nikolai Cherkassov) is convinced that he is the real-Iife knight-errant, Don Quixote de la Mancha. To this end, he commissions his battered horse Rocinante to be his steed and appoints fellow Manchegan Sancho Panza (Yuri Tolubeyev) to be his reIuctant squire. Both Knight and Squire find themseIves living anachronisms in 16th Century Spain, subject to constant humiIiation and frequent defeat; safeguarded onIy by Sancho s good humour and Quixote s mad zeal.
Don Quixote, made in 1957, is the first version of the noveI in coIour and CinemaScope, shot on Iocation in the Crimean region. ln adapting Cervantes, Grigori Kozintsev anticipates the style of his renowned Shakespeare adaptations (Hamlet, King Lear); crafting a fiIm of comparabIe visual richness and poetic wit. The legendary NikoIai Cherkassov (Alexander Nevsky, Ivan the TerribIe) adds a third to his roster of iconic screen roles with his stirring performance as the Knight of the RuefuI Face. |
