Think about how Welles made a name for himself (at least partly) because of the WPA. Can you imagine a federal jobs program for artists and actors nowadays? Thank you FDR for being awesome.

Thank you FDR for being awesome. Even better, it was his all-black adaptation of Macbeth for the WPA that put his name on the map. Which he directed when he was 20 years old.

i wonder what welles would think of found footage. f for fake makes me think he wouldn't be against it and maybe think it was actually interesting, but i am pretty sure he wouldn't enjoy most examples of it.

Even though I loved most of his movies, all I can think of when someone says "Orson loving Welles" is "Big Fat Bastard". RIP you Big Fat Bastard.

Orson Welles on other filmmakers: Kubrick: "The Killing was better than The Asphalt Jungle... for me, Kubrick is a better director than Huston. I haven't seen Lolita, but I believe Kubrick can do everything." "Among the young generation, Kubrick strikes me as a giant." Godard: "His gifts as a director are enormous. I just can't take him very seriously as a thinker - and that's where we seem to differ, because he does. His message is what he cares about these days, and, like most movie messages, it could be written on the head of a pin." Bunuel: "He's a deeply Christian man who hates God as only a Christian can and, of course, he's very Spanish." Fellini: "His films are a small-town boy's dream of a big city. His sophistication works because it is the creation of someone who doesn't have it. But he shows dangerous signs of being a superlative artist with little to say." and filmmakers on Orson Welles: Bergman: "For me he’s just a hoax. It’s empty. It’s not interesting. It’s dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of — is all the critics’ darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it’s a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that movie’s got is absolutely unbelievable." Also, Donald Trump on Orson Welles: "I loved Orson Welles. He was totally hosed up. He was a total mess. But think of his wives. Think of his hits. He was like this great genius that after 26, never did it. He became totally impossible. He thought everybody was a moron, everybody was this, everybody was that; if he had a budget he’d exceed it by 20 times and destroy everything. He became impossible. I loved that." (Note: Welles rarely went over-budget. He went 21 days over-schedule and roughly $100,000 over budget on Citizen Kane, which is like $16 million in today's money and wasn't uncommon. By comparison, Casablanca went over-budget about the same amount and had all sorts of production issues) Egbert Souse fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Jul 28, 2016 |

If you want your mind blown... The Criterion Collection released Citizen Kane on laserdisc for the first time while Orson Welles was still alive. In one of the last conversations in My Lunches with Orson, Welles actually mentions being approached to do an audio commentary track. He declined it on the basis of not believing it needing such a track, but he liked the idea of doing commentaries for bad movies to point out what was done wrong.

Jim Barris posted:drat it was really hard to choose between Touch of Evil and F for Fake. Everyone who voted for Citizen Kane is a loving liar or it's the only Orson Welles movie they've seen. Citizen Kane is great, but Welles managed to top himself with each subsequent film for the most part. I feel bad that I haven't seen Macbeth, Chimes at Midnight, or The Immortal Story yet. The latter two are coming out on Blu-Ray from Criterion and I have Macbeth saved on my DVR from Turner Classic Movies. My opinions on what I have seen: Citizen Kane - Great. Now let's move on, everyone knows about this one. The Magnificent Ambersons - Fascinating, but it has bizarre pacing thanks to all the edits. The Stranger - Welles was "for hire" but it's a great film between it subject matter and some really incredible photography. I love the scene where Kindler lures his old Nazi friend into the woods and it's all done in one long take. The Lady from Shanghai - Strange, again due to edits, but it actually works to give it this air of surrealism. Welles' Irish accent has to be heard to believed. Also, Everett Sloane is hilarious in this. Othello - Kind of left me flat, despite looking incredible. Due for a re-watch. Mr. Arkadin - I've only seen the "reconstruction" on Criterion's DVD. It's alright. Pretty, as usual, but probably my least favorite of his films. Touch of Evil - AWESOME. The Trial - EVEN MORE AWESOME. One of those films that really sticks with you because it's so haunting. F for Fake - My all-time favorite movie and my favorite of his (obviously). The Pony Incident posted:i've been waiting for an excuse to post this, the most worthless line of dialogue in the history of film We can forgive a bad dialogue or slow third act. It was only his first movie, after all.

Okay so first if you want to learn more than you ever thought you'd learn about Orson Welles go out and get Simon Callow's biography on the man. The biography is actually an ongoing work and the third volume was just published this spring. It covers Welles' life from 1947 to 1964 and his exile from the US, so you get Touch of Evil and The Trial plus tons of stage projects and stuff. Callow puts out a volume every ten years or so, he does insane amounts of research and it's great. Then try to find the 1993 documentary on Welles' unfinished film project It's All True, which was shot in Latin America during 1941-1942. This was the film that cost him an insanely lenient contract with RKO, one which allowed him to shoot whatever he wanted with complete creative control. (In a nutshell: Orson Welles goes to Brazil, drinks and screws his way through Carnaval under the pretense of making a movie, inadvertently kills a national hero, and loses not only the project and his contract but also editorial control over The Magnificent Ambersons, which was what really hurt.)

I made this thread after watching Chuck Workman's documentary Magician, which is a really good "basic" documentary on Welles. Callow appears in a few interviews. I'll have to make an effort to read Callow's biographies. Someone uploaded a workprint of Welles' unfinished documentary Filming The Trial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8BR034qDsk (Welles intended F for Fake to be the first of many "essay" films, which he sort of followed up with Filming Othello, then was going to follow up with this)
