Wells tries to tap into his early innovation. Awards to the editors for this long job. Story a smidge disjointed. Watch the doc bout this.
You get to see 48 years worth of patchwork within one film that Welles was hoping to achieve. It’s also the pioneer in found footage
While quite disjointed at times, undoubtedly due to the extremely lengthy production, this is still a must see for any film buff!
Odd, but watchable. It was a glimpse into another era made by a legendary filmmaker.
As a fan of both Huston and Welles it was magical seeing the film. It's rather abstract and convoluted, but a must-see for cinephiles
Too much to say, too little time. A smart film that finally saw the light. Welles mixes beautiful cinematography and fast editing into one.
Wildly chaotic but gripping. Feels like sneaking into a filmmaker’s messy, brilliant mind.
A fascinating avant-garde experiment with so many elements and characters flying around, it’s like a surreal, sardonic circus.
A seriously impressive film with unconventional storytelling, a feat of the late Welles
The experimental, lost Orson Welles film has its issues. But it still managed to he engaging and very well acted. Hell, it was even funny
