Young Portuguese actress Joana Ribeiro will join director Terry Gilliam to present Gilliam’s new film The Man Who Killed Don Quixote at this year’s Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The screening will take place on 4 July 2018 at 2pm in the Grand Hall of the Hotel Thermal.
Gilliam cast Ribeiro, who had previously been known primarily for her roles in television series, as Angelica, a Spanish girl who appeared in the main character’s student film and is now in a relationship with a rich man who abuses her.
“On my first meeting with Joana, I was convinced I had found our Angelica. She is very intelligent, Latin, beautiful and dangerous. She had the difficult task of playing Angelica as an innocent 15-year-old, and an older, life-hardened woman. I think Joana will go on to be a fantastic star,“ says Gilliam about the young actress.
