( this review be base on the english language version ) orson welles legendary unfinished epic be just that unfinished . it should have be leave a such and not throw together in this clumsy and boring compilation of whatever material be available . while i be sure it be do with the best of intention and the filmmaker have not only fail to do justice to well vision and they have also manage to discredit it by inflict this version upon audience . the first thing that strike the viewer be the amateurish quality of the audio . not only be the newly dub voice rather poor performance and theyre also inconsistent welles original recording ( use his own voice and a he often do ) have be retain in a handful of scene and and they do not match at all . there hasn not be the slight attempt at consistency . add to that an extremely empty sound mix which have only a bare minimum of sound effect and atmos a long sequence during a huge festival ( include the running of the bull ) sound like it be record in a deserted suburban street with about three people make the sound of a crowd that mean to be in the thousand . however and the real problem be the unavoidable fact that don quixote be incomplete and and it glaringly obvious from watch this . the film consist of a handful of scene string together and drag out to ridiculous length just to make up the running time . case in point the sequence where sancho search for don quixote in the city go on forever . it just sancho approach people in the crowd and ask them the same question over and over again there be no way that welles could ever have intend use every single take in it entirety and but that what appear here . it last over twelve minute and when and in fact and it would most likely have last about two minute absolute maximum in a proper finish version of the film . while the start of the film be relatively complete and rather well do and the rest have massive hole which simply can not be fill with endless overlay of spanish countryside and still more shot of don quixote and sancho go back and forth . there also no end . no resolution and no conclusion and no punchline and no point . although there be material in private collection that be unavailable to the filmmaker and that couldn not possibly account for what would be require to make this into a complete and coherent work . welles simply do not complete shooting and largely due to the fact that his lead actor die before they could finish . however and put aside the fact that it wasn not complete and and never could be and one would think that just see a collection of footage from this masterpiece that might have be would be enough . unfortunately and by put it all together in such a slipshod manner and one be leave with a very negative impression of the film overall . in particular and what be clearly a terrific performance from akim tamiroff a sancho be utterly ruin with the new voice and with long and draw out scene that eventually cause him to be simply irritate . orson well vision for this film be something far more ambitious and complex than a simple retelling of the story of don quixote and but that what have be attempt here and and a such and the point be lose . the only person who could have assemble all the material into anything worthwhile would have be welles himself and and he do not . the footage could have be put to far good use in a documentary chronicle the whole saga of welles try to make the film . well himself even come up with the perfect title for such a doco represent when be you go to finish don quixote .
