Movie Reviews of Working with Orson Welles
Movie Review: Will the REAL Orson Welles please step forward!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this documentary by the last cinematographer to work with Orson Welles
to be a fascinating insight into the personality and working life of the cinema's
most famous director. It is told in a straight-forward honest viewpoint and does
not gloss-over the brilliant, but egocentric, creator of some of the milestones of
Twentieth Century Cinema. This is a portrait of Orson in his declining years, when
he was working on strictly personal and low-budget projects, at a time when he
had lost any studio or financial support. It's an uncommon documentary by Peter
Jason, the cinematographer and Welles confidant, giving us a glimpse into some
of the later, obscure, and lost or unreleased works of the master filmmaker.
We see film clips and scenes, as well as behind the scenes interviews, and rare
workprint material, that gives us some idea, some impression, of where the
restless creativity of Welles was headed in the declining years of his life. This DVD
is highly recommended to fans of the life and works of Orson Welles and would
be invaluable to any student of the cinema or those interested in the life and work
of one of the creative giants of the American Cinema. Get this one quickly if you
can find a copy as it is "out-of-print" and becoming scarce.
