Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Available on European DVD

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful and Complex
On repeated watchings, this film reveals ever greater levels of complexity, and has become one of my very favorites. Both highly cerebral and deeply devotional, it probes a myriad of philosophical, political and theological questions through searching discussions between its two protagonists (the very sweet and holy Monsignor Quixote, played with obvious affection by Sir Alec Guinness, and his atheistic, communist pal Sancho, portrayed by wonderful veteran actor Leo McKern), and the adventures they encounter on their ...
