[box] A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet. — Orson Welles[/box]
An engaging look into the mind of a master.
In this documentary made for Canadian TV, the 45-year-old Welles talks about his career to date and philosophizes on Hollywood, acting and life.
This was the kind of interview where the interviewer tries to show how clever he is with his questions. Fortunately, the answers are always candid and to the point. Welles has the kind of voice that just makes him seem like he would be pompous. To the contrary, he is completely disarming. Recommended.
