A Master’s Last Stand.
It took 40 years to make. Orson Welles never lived to see it completed. It’s sad, but in retrospect, I see why. The Other Side of the Wind is brilliant in it’s own little way, but it’s far too esoteric. This film was for an audience, but we certainly aren’t it. This is Orson Welles, and his film cohorts, fed up with the Hollywood system, and throwing up their middle fingers at them. At the same time, Welles was searching to make a masterpiece far ahead of it’s time. What we get is the story of the premiere of a legendary filmmaker’s last film. The film-within-the-film, also titled The Other Side of the Wind, is a colorful and erotic psychedelic fever dream about a Native American woman. I enjoyed this portion much more. You can see the imagination and enthusiasm for making something new and far-out from these scenes. The scenes that wrap around the film-within-a-film are in the style of a documentary, as we see industry folks and journalists quipping and arguing with each other. John Huston stars as Jake Hannaford, the jaded has been hot shot director who is obviously supposed to represent Welles himself. Huston is the brightest part of these scenes. On the whole, they are less imaginative, and feel so insular. It’s unbalanced, and that’s what really took me out of it. Historically, this is really fascinating stuff. To better understand it, I must consult the making-of companion doc on Netflix.
Mr. Arkadin meets This is Your Life
I haven’t seen the whole movie yet, and this is one problem with it. It drags along into so many small characters and subplots, it’s a chore to finish. The opening resembles Mr. A quite a bit, but we didn’t need any modern references to take us out of the time it was set, like “Before cellphones and ipods.” It’s unrealistic to think people who knew Welles could know what parts stayed and what parts could be cut. I don’t know why people who knew a famous director would ride together in a school bus to his party, except as a way of introducing the characters and revealing their secret opinions about him. The yellow bus just might be spoofing the tour bus that people use to visit Hearst Castle, the model for Welles’ epic Citizen Kane. I would like to be remembered if I were famous as someone who made movies that appealed to simple tastes and problems of ordinary people. Sad what a grandiose ego trip can do. I suppose it never occurred to those reviewing a hundred hours of footage that Welles might have intended to have a mystery open “question mark” ending for the film.. Late photography director Gary Graver said in an interview ten years ago the ending planned for this film was different then what I saw here.
