4/10
Worth viewing but...
14 May 2019
Orson Welles made what is arguably the finest film ever made and followed it up with a few good films and a lot of films that have flashes of brilliance but are marred by serious flaws. That being said, even his worst films are worth watching, as are the many documentaries about his life and craft. This film, "The Eyes of Orson Welles" has some marvelous material about Welles' life and his craft, and it's material you've never seen before. But like most of Welles' own films, this documentary has some serious flaws that detract from what might have been a major contribution. It's well worth watching, but could have been so much better.
