批評家のレビュー
"Joseph McBride...has a clearer understanding of Welles and his films than almost anyone." (Martin Scorsese)
"McBride has charted a course through the smoke for all future scholarship. Twenty-first-century Welles research begins here." (Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn)
あらすじ・解説
In this intimate and often surprising personal portrait, Joseph McBride challenges the conventional wisdom that Welles' career after Citizen Kane, widely regarded as the greatest film ever made, fell into a long decline. The author shows instead how Welles never stopped directing radical, adventurous films and was always breaking new artistic ground as a filmmaker. McBride is the first author to provide a comprehensive examination of the films of Welles's artistically rich yet widely misunderstood later period in the United States (1970–1985), when McBride knew the director and worked with him as an actor on The Other Side of the Wind, Welles' personal testament on filmmaking. To put Welles' later years into context, the author reexamines the filmmaker's entire life and career. This newly updated edition rounds out the story with a final chapter analyzing The Other Side of the Wind, finally completed in 2018, and his rediscovered 1938 film, Too Much Johnson. McBride offers many fresh insights into the collapse of Welles' Hollywood career in the 1940s, his subsequent political blacklisting, and his long period of European exile.
What Ever Happened to Orson Welles? serves as a major reinterpretation of Welles' life and work. McBride's revealing portrait changes the framework for how Orson Welles is understood as a man, an actor, a political figure, and a filmmaker.
