Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles
(2014)This insightful documentary explores the enigma and polymath that was Orson Welles. Directed by critically-acclaimed documentary maker, Chuck Workman, Magician divides Wellesโ life into four chapters, with Workman portraying him as an artist who never stopped working throughout his career, but whose unconventional approach ensured he was much misunderstood by Hollywood. Magician is a montage, featuring scenes from almost every existing Welles film - from Hearts of Age to rarely-seen clips from his final unfinished films such as Don Quixote - as well as his television and commercial work. This is an essential film not just for fans of the great Orson Welles, but anyone interested in the magic of cinema.
