Interview with Orson Welles
Orson Welles on THE TRIAL Interviewed on the BBC in 1962 By Huw Wheldon HUW WHELDON: Your film, THE TRIAL, is based upon Franz Kafka's stunning novel. ORSON WELLES: Yes, I suppose you could say that, although you wouldn't necessarily be correct. I've generally tried to be faithful to Kafka's novel in my film but there are a couple of major points in my film that don't correspond when reading the novel. First of all the character of Joseph K. in the film doesn't really deteriorate, certainly doesn't surrender at the end. WHELDON: He certainly does in the book, he's murdered in the book. WELLES: Yes, he is murdered in the end. He's murdered in our film, but because I fear that K may be taken to be a sort of everyman by the audience, I have been bold enough to change the end to the extent that he doesn't surrender. He is murdered as anyone is murdered when they're executed, but where in the book he screams, "like a dog, like a dog you're killing me!," in my version he laughs in their faces because they're unable to kill him. WHELDON: That's a big change. WELLES: Not so big, because in fact, in Kafka they are unable to kill K. When the two out of work tenors are sent away to a field to murder K, they can't really do it. They keep passing the knife back and forth to one another. K refuses to collaborate in his own death in the novel, it's left like that and he dies with a sort of whimper. -
Croatian War Fiction Detachment and Personal Experience1 Jurica Pavi I
Croatian War Fiction Detachment and Personal Experience1 Jurica Pavi�i� There is probably no expression that is as untrue as inter arma musae silent. War is an extremely distorted social condition and has always provided an inexhaust- ible supply of themes, destinies, motives and images for the art of story telling. War is an extreme condition, a time when, in the words of Jan Kott, 'history has broken loose from its chain', and when a society nervously turns to fiction to tame history, to classify and tidy it up, to verify it against narrative, aesthetic parameters. War is also a time when literature, especially narrative prose, is faced with the unspeakable proximity of ethnic cleansing, slaughter, death camps, rape, fire, all kinds of cruelty and vice, accumulated hatred and material and spiritual damage that will not heal for decades, and when it must quickly redefine its poetic principles and values. We cannot avoid considering the thought expressed in Bertold Brecht's verses, that in terrible times 'it is almost a crime to talk about trees because it means to be silent about atrocity'. Of course it is not a crime to 'talk about trees', but in the conditions it is unexpected, an act of rejection. The war will scar every work of fiction: either through its absence, or its presence. Reality is steeped in such horror that it is impossible to tame and order it: the channel of communication is simply too restricted for the enormity and the intensity of horror. Croatian writers are faced with the problem of how to express in literature what they have gone through. -

THE OTHER SIDE of the WIND; a LOST MOTHER, a MAVERICK, ROUGH MAGIC and a MIRROR: a PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVE on the CINEMA of ORSON WELLES by Jack Schwartz
Schwartz, J. (2019). The Other Side of the Wind…A psychoanalytic perspective on the cinema of Orson Welles. MindConsiliums, 19(8), 1-25. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND; A LOST MOTHER, A MAVERICK, ROUGH MAGIC AND A MIRROR: A PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE CINEMA OF ORSON WELLES By Jack Schwartz ABSTRACT Arguably, Orson Welles is considered America’s most artistic and influential filmmaker from the golden era of American movies, even though most people are only familiar with his first feature, Citizen Kane (1941). Any film buff can easily recognize his signature camera work, his use of lighting and overlapping dialogue, along with so many cinematic nuisances that define his artistry. Despite being on the “pantheon” (Sarris, 1969) of American directors, he never established any real sustaining commercial success. Even though he leaves behind many pieces of a giant beautiful cinematic puzzle, Welles will always be considered one of the greats. Prompted by Welles’ posthumously restored last feature The Other Side of the Wind (2018), the time is ripe for a psychoanalytic re-evaluation of Welles’ cinematic oeuvre, linking the artist’s often tumultuous creative journey to the dynamic structure of Welles’ early and later childhood experiences through the frame of his final film. INTRODUCTION From early in its invention, movies have offered the gift of escaping the grind of daily life, even when movies are sometimes about the grind of daily life. Movies move us, confront us, entertain us, break our hearts, help mend our broken hearts, teach us things, give us a place to practice empathy or express anger and point to injustice. -
ORSON WELLES As FALSTAFF in CHIMES at MIDNIGHT
ORSON WELLES AS FALSTAFF IN CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT “ If I wanted to get into heaven on the basis of one movie, that’s the one I would offer up. I think it’s because it is, to me, the least flawed . I succeeded more completely, in my view, with that than with anything else.” —Orson Welles “Chimes at Midnight . may be the greatest Shakespearean film ever made, bar none.” —Vincent Canby, The New York Times “ He has directed a sequence, the Battle of Shrewsbury, which is unlike anything he has ever done, indeed unlike any battle ever done on the screen before. It ranks with the best of Griffith, John Ford, Eisenstein, Kurosawa—that is, with the best ever done.” —Pauline Kael Spain • 1966 • 116 Minutes • Black & White • 1.66:1 Booking Inquiries: Janus Films Press Contact: Ryan Werner [email protected] • 212-756-8761 [email protected] • 917-254-7653 CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT JANUS FILMS SYNOPSIS The crowning achievement of Orson Welles’s later film career,Chimes at Midnight returns to the screen after being unavailable for decades. This brilliantly crafted Shakespeare adaptation was the culmination of Welles’s lifelong obsession with the Bard’s ultimate rapscallion, Sir John Falstaff, the loyal, often soused childhood friend to King Henry IV’s wayward son Prince Hal. Appearing in several plays as a comic supporting figure, Falstaff is here the main event: a robustly funny and ultimately tragic screen antihero played by Welles with towering, lumbering grace. Integrating elements from both Henry IV plays as well as Richard II, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor, Welles created an unorthodox Shakespeare film that is also a gritty period piece, which he called “a lament . -
'F for Fake' De Orson Welles
F POR FAKE, DE ORSON WELLES. LA BIOGRAFÍA ATÍPICA DE ELMYR D’HORY CATALINA AGUILÓ RIBAS MARÍA JOSÉ MULET GUTIÉRREZ Universitat de les Illes Balears Resumen: En 1973, Orson Welles filmó una biografía atípica de Elmyr d’Hory, un pintor de proyección en el mundo del mercado artístico internacional por su condición de falsificador. Se trata de una película excepcional que combina ficción y realidad. Su carácter interdisciplinar (la riqueza del lenguaje cinematográfico y las incursiones al ámbito de la historia del arte) y la filmación de parte de la película en Ibiza constituyen el punto de partida de esta comunicación. Palabras clave: Pintura, Montaje cinematográfico, Ibiza, Islas Baleares, Fraude, Falsificación Abstract: In 1973, Orson Welles filmed an Elmyr d’Hory’s biopic, a well known painter in the international art market for his forger’s condition. This is an exceptional film with a combination of fiction and reality. Its character with cinematographic rich language, the relation with art history and the filmig exteriors in Ibiza were the point of depature of this research work. Key words: Painting, Film editing, Ibiza, Balearic Islands, Fake, Forgery INTRODUCCIÓN Fraude es un fraude. Es un falso documental que ejemplifica el eterno combate entre la realidad y la ficción. Es un ejemplo de “film ensayo” que “aparte de reivindicar el poder mágico del montaje, como creador de sentido, formula la imposibilidad de distinguir entre la realidad y sus simulacros”.1 Los temas que trata Welles en el film son recurrentes en su universo creador: realidad y ficción, representación. Según el propio Welles: “hemos fingido una historia sobre el arte. -
Of Morbid Jealousy in Orson Welles's Noir Othello (1952)
Scripta Uniandrade, v. 14, n. 2 (2016) Revista da Pós-Graduação em Letras – UNIANDRADE Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil “OCULAR PROOF” OF MORBID JEALOUSY IN ORSON WELLES'S NOIR OTHELLO (1952) Dr. ALEXANDER MARTIN GROSS Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: This article considers Orson Welles's Othello (1952) as a performance text in its own right, and discusses the film's use of cinematographic techniques in constructing a visual language which complements the verbal language of Shakespeare's playtext. The 1965 National Theatre filmed production of Othello (dir. Stuart Burge) is also discussed in order to further highlight the cinematic qualities of the Welles production. Particular attention is paid to Welles's use of cinematographic techniques and black and white photography to foreground themes of enclosure, entrapment, and opposition in his visual interpretation of the playtext. The film is considered as an example of visual rewrighting, using Alan Dessen's term which applies to situations where a director moves closer to the role of a playwright.

Welles Explores Truth in Deception NOVEMBER 20, 2015 2:04 AM0 COMMENTS by NICK SWAN
AiA Art News-service F is for Fake: Welles Explores Truth in Deception NOVEMBER 20, 2015 2:04 AM0 COMMENTS By NICK SWAN Orson Welles’ documentary F is for Fake is as much an exploration of one filmmaker’s idiosyncratic technique, as it is a philosophical debate about authenticity and expertise. COURTESY OF SPECIALTY FILMS Released in 1974, F is for Fake is Orson Welles’ last completed film — the culmination of an extensive and acclaimed career in artistic media.The beginning of Welles’ work actually existed not in film, but rather in theatre and radio. In 1937, Welles wrote a modern adaptation of and starred in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Although it premiered in an independent theatre, Caesar was soon moved to Broadway, where it ran until 1941. Welles burst onto the radio platform when, in 1938, he delivered the infamous “War of the Worlds” broadcast. Despite its notoriety for the panic and widespread hysteria that it caused, this broadcast additionally served to exemplify and draw attention to Welles’ skills in dramatic acting and oration His talent would make him a household name a few years after the zenith of Welles’ career, Citizen Kane. Widely regarded as one of the greatest works in the history of film, Citizen Kane depicts the life of the fictional Charles Foster Kane, played by Welles. His performance in this role is marked by moments of boisterous rhetoric as well as more nuanced scenes of passionate drama. Welles also directed and co- wrote Citizen Kane; The film’s revolutionary fast-paced editing and montage segments exhibit Welles’ unique cinematic vision and would influence not only his later work, but also the technique of many future directors. -
Orson Welles - Prawda Jest Gdzie Indziej
Olga Katafiasz Orson Welles - prawda jest gdzie indziej Orson Welles jest reżyserem kultowym1 - nawet jeśli z nieufnością trak tujemy to nadużywane ostatnio określenie, w przypadku tego artysty raczej nie budzi ono wątpliwości. I nie chodzi jedynie o fakt, że powstało kilkaset poświęconych mu książek i obrazów dokumentalnych, filmowe miejsca są nazywane jego imieniem, produkcje niezmiennie utrzymują się w czołów kach rankingów, a zasługi w kształtowaniu języka kina są ogromne i do cenione. Nie chodzi też o świadomie budowaną przez Wellesa opowieść o własnym niezwykłym życiu, na które składały się perturbacje z producen tami, ekscentryczne pomysły, wreszcie związki z kobietami. Orson Welles jest typem artysty, który w sposób szczególny uwzględniał w swoim myśleniu o sztuce (nie tylko o filmie, ale też o literaturze, którą czę sto przenosił na ekran) i jej tradycji postawy czy tęsknoty widza, zarówno tego bardziej wyrobionego, dostrzegającego nowatorskie odkrycia formalne i gry gatunkowe, jak przeciętnego, ale wrażliwego odbiorcy. Niezwykła re lacja z publicznością zaistniała zatem z kilku powodów. Po pierwsze, Orson Welles zawsze mówił we własnym imieniu (choć warianty tej strategii bywają rozmaite) i owa manifestacja własnej obecno 1 Pojęcia ,7kultowy" używam nie w kontekście zjawiska „kina kultu", ale w znaczeniu szer szym. „Kultowy" oznacza więc trudny do zdefiniowania fenomen dzieła lub twórcy, cieszą cych się szczególną popularnością w pewnych, niekiedy bardzo szerokich kręgach odbior czych. Filmy, książki czy reżyserzy określani mianem „kultowych" obrastają swego rodzaju legendą, podtrzymywaną przez grupę ludzi, dla których mają szczególne znaczenie. Stają się zatem kulturowym mitem, poznawanym przez kolejne pokolenia czytelników czy widzów. 372 Olga Katafiasz ści w dziele okazuje się niezwykle ważna.
