Orson Welles
On it’s 25th anniversary, Orson Welles’ oeuvre The Stranger towers over the thrillers with which it’s so often been unfairly bundled over the years.
In spite of some reservations, and though it certainly demands patience, Hopper/Welles remains a treasure trove worthy of exploration.
The Trial is one film that fell through the cracks and achieved some notoriety, but it’s also a tragedy that there were many more that were ignored.
If you don’t care about Orson Welles, The Other Side of the Winf does not stand up well enough on its own to be worth your time.
In the second of this series, we look at the screenplays of Citizen Kane and Velvet Goldmine, examining how the two stories share similar DNA.
The Eyes of Orson Welles is an introspective look at the legendary man; in addition, we were able to talk with Mark Cousins, the director of the film.
