ORSON WELLES: THE ONE-MAN BAND is a fascinating glimpse at this extraordinary man\\\\\\\'s final years - made with the cooperation of Oja Kodar, Welles\\\\\\\' longtime companion, to whom he bequeathed a wealth of unedited films and fragments when he died in 1985. Granted exclusive access to Welles\\\\\\\' heretofore unseen archives - and drawing from almost two tons of film cans containing fragments, shorts, project ideas, and sketches - the filmmakers are led by Kodar through the rich but unfulfilled Welles legacy. Far from being the gloomy megalomaniac that Hollywood has sometimes branded him, Welles emerges here a protean creator, at times vulnerable and lonely, but always unshakeably optimistic and unfailingly innovative. |
