Their performances mark a return to the noble tradition of non-psychological acting. They bring out the poetry, simplicity and beauty of the intimate relationship between the two characters. Lluís Carbó and Lluís Serrat play the two protagonists. Matthew, Francesco, Giullare di Dio, Ozu, Sokurov), the innovative, eccentric cinema of the 60’s (Paradjanov, Godard), and the personal mythology of the author. Honor de cavalleria is an aesthetic and conceptual synthesis of the most pure influences (including Lancelot du Lac, The Gospel According to St. On an artistic level, therefore, this film is not the “narration of an adventure but the adventure of a narration”. The similarities between these two journeys represent the principal theme of the film. In the case of the crew, theirs was the journey from the film’s initial conception, from how they dreamed it would be to the film that was ultimately made. For the two characters, theirs is a solitary, anonymous, desperate life yet, at the same time, their journey takes them through the heroic world of chivalry. The shoot took both the artistic and technical team on a journey (cinematographically, but also in real life) that had a great deal in common with the journey taken by the novel’s two protagonists.

Like the directly-recorded sound, lighting is entirely natural. With its beautifully nuanced and mostly voiceless thesping by the central duo, Honor de Cavalleria transmits an appealing air of serenity. One night, Quixote is mysteriously spirited away by four men on white horses. The slow ritual of Sancho putting on Quixote's armor is shown, while the physically most active sequence has Quixote bathing in a river and gleefully encouraging Sancho to do the same. Over the first ten minutes, there are only a couple of brief exchanges as Sancho looks for a laurel crown for his master. Silent and gentle where the original is verbose and tumultuous, Serra reads between the lines of Cervantes' masterpiece and works its absences up into two hours of painterly auteur fare. A hauntingly serene and sometimes moving experimental take on «Don Quixote», Albert Serra's Honor de Cavalleria seems to have spliced that Spanish classic to «Waiting for Godot» via Bresson and Ozu.
