In an intriguing documentary that tells the story of the life of world-renowned filmmaker Orson Welles. The great director was struggling to complete the film he had been planning for some time, 'The Other Side of the Wind.' It's a novel film that was a new return to Hollywood after returning from exile. For more than six years, he has struggled to complete the unfinished film, which may have been completely closed.
Neville, for the most part, captures everything with a giddy cave-hunter's mentality. He's able to show the ins and outs of what it takes to make a movie on the fly.
Director Neville ... walks us through this complicated history with panache, combining artfully staged talking heads with copious amounts of archival footage.
A brisk, irreverent complement to Welles' brawling caravanserai, offering the man himself ample time to purr, coo and rue over the project and its setbacks.
