What is the problem with modern documentaries? This could be such a fascinating subject but it jumps all over the place with scenes and sound. Hard to keep track of what's what and who's who. No proper narrative. A waste of great footage.

This documentary details the up & downs Orson Welles went through getting financing for many of his projects particularly his last, The Other Side of the Wind. Welles, who became a wunderkind after his major breakthrough Citizen Kane, never got the same treatment or respect for the remainder of his life, always securing backing for his films in fits & starts (he'd occasionally had shooting projects languishing for years at a time as he'd take acting jobs or towards the end of his life becoming a pitch person for wine & board games solely to secure necessary completion funds) which ultimately would add to his stature as being a problematic visionary (a sad episode occurs when he tries to get money to finish his film during his own AFI awards ceremony). More of a story of what could've been, this depressing account leaves one fuming at the film community for abandoning this gargantuan talent & not giving him his due.

I found this film fascinating about the making of the unfinished film The Other Side Of The Wind. Orson's attempt at a last great film. It tells stories of his childhood and his early career but mostly of the making of The Other Side Of The Wind. As a huge Welles fan i found it a fascinating insight into his genius and also heartbreaking that during his life time he never really got a recognition he truly deserved. The title of this film is fitting because many of his films have become far more revered in the decades since his death. He was a true original and there will never be anyone like ever again. I cried at the end of this film it was an emotional experience. I highly recommend this film to any fan of his work.

An American documentary; A story that revolves around the making and filming of The Other Side of the Wind. It is an entertaining insight into an artist's mindset and a window into the creative process of the brilliant auteur, Orson Welles. The film feels like tragedy as the story mirrors his own life's narrative, how he struggles to make good on his swan song movie. The interviews bring to the fore the genius of Welles, his "hall-of-mirrors mind".

Portrays Orson much more like the cultured, humble, self-knowing artist he may have been. It's a fantastical tale, woven well, using lots of different kinds of footage and surrounding trivia that builds a tremendously rich and entertaining tableau. Here it's interesting to see Orson being lambasted for basically making pictures the way Terence Malick does now. And it's a real shame that The Other Side of the Wind wasn't made.

I've seen Citizen Kane a few times over the decades, and loved it more each time. I also recall first becoming aware of Orson Welles as he was being reduced by the 1970s tabloids into a caricature of overindulgence. So I really enjoyed this documentary for filling in the details of Welles' professional trials and tribulations. Anyone who loves movies, and certainly anyone involved in moviemaking, will gain valuable lessons and insights from this doc. There is the inside look about the culture of Hollywood as well. But it's really a tale of the intersection of extreme talent and unhealthy psychology. In retrospect, it's both clear and amazing that Welles has more than enough money to complete the movie "The Other Side of the Wind", but his lack of discipline and focus causes him to run out of money and never finish his experimental opus. The cause of that lack of discipline and the implicit disregard he had for others lives - the Rich Little tale is a perfect example - are hinted at but never conclusively defined. Just as well -- ambiguity creates fascination, so Welles remains as fascinating as ever.

No matter how brilliant a perosn can be, they will never be like Orson Welles. This movie makes you understand the real genius of Orson, a person born to be a revolutionary. This work is extremely entertaining and qualitative. I LOVED IT.

(Flash Review) This film served two purposes; 1) to hear from those involved what it was like working with Welles on his last, and until recently, unfinished film The Other Side Of The Wind and 2) intermingle pertinent biographical insights into his life and career. It is appropriate in many ways as the film echoes parts of the film as well as his real life. It was sad to see how such a creative genius was unable to fully eclipse the shadow of the success of Citizen Cane, how difficult it was too finish his last film, which he never did, and seemed to be underappreciated for a man of his many talents. Anyway, this documentary had a spectrum of unique clips and sound bites all edited in a Welles style, which helped to hold your interest. In some ways, this was more enjoyable than the actual film which may have been Welles goal all along; his words.

The title obviously makes the point that some artists only get recognized after they die. And it is true that many artists had issues. Welles on the other hand was highly regarded. Actually this documentary makes the point that he and his masterpiece Citizen Kane were loved - so much that he could never live up to it. Or rather none of the movies he did after that. Now that are issues that some people would love to have. On the other hand, someone like Hitchcock made many good movies and he never fell into that trap. But back to this: Many of his peers talk about him and there is a big amount of the time dedicated to the last movie Welles never actually finished. He shot it for so many years, but never seemed satisfied. From what I have seen so far, it might have been ahead of its time back then - obviously the cut of The other side of the wind that is now available to watch via stream is not the one Welles would have released. Still it is the footage he shot, so more on that on the other page. This documentary is quite revealing when it comes to Welles character - with enough footage of him, but also a lot of people who were close to him, talking about their experience ... Essential in a way
