The Eyes of Orson Welles

It's listed as a documentary, on the life and works of orson welles, who lived from 1915 to 1985. Writer, director, producer, stage manager, casting director. Mark cousins and welles' daughter beatrice describe various items from the welles collection archive. Drawings, letters, papers. Lots of scenery of new york and chicago. Discussion of themes like beginnings and endings. Some politics. Cousins addresses many statements and questions to orson himself, as if he were in the same room. And sums of welles' work as a series of shapes and lines. Contradictions, as any poet has. There's a very complete page of information at wikipedia dot org as well. It's mostly good. Written, directed, narrated by mark cousins. He has won numerous film fest awards. It's quite interesting. I wish cousins had spent more time with beatrice on camera! She must have had tons of interesting stories about her father's life and work. And i don't remember any discussion of welle's project (uncompleted, during his lifetime) other side of the wind... which was also released in 2018!
