Honor de cavalleria

Written and directed by Albert Sierra in 2006, the critically acclaimed Honor de cavalleria (Quixotic) will conclude this film cycle on August 22, at 2pm. Shot with amateur actors and a minimal budget, Albert Serra’s adaptation of the misadventures of the senile would-be knight and his sidekick Sancho Panza is arguably the most heterodox “reading” of the novel.  The film favors natural sounds and landscape imagery over dialogue and music, in a somehow minimalist way.  It is a reminder of the style of filmmakers like Bresson or Pasolini. The movie garnered several awards in international festivals –Best Film at the 2006 Torino International Festival of Young Cinema, among them.
