Film director Mat Whitecross has chosen to discuss Orson Welles and Peter Bogdanovich’s This is Orson Welles Dury, on FiveBooks as one of the top five on his subject – Film Directing, saying that: “…Orson Welles has always been my favourite director. I remember catching films of his late at night. Here he is sitting down with his friend Peter Bogdanovich, who is another great film director, and the two of them just talk about Welles’s career. Welles is a great conversationalist and it’s intriguing to hear the way he talks about his life. .…”.

Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (80)Film and theatre director-innovator, radio producer, actor, writer, painter, narrator, and magician, Orson Welles was the last true Renaissance man of the twentieth century. From such great work in radio as the epoch-making "War of the Worlds" and the famous voice of "The Shadow knows!" to his cinematic masterpieces Citizen Kane, Othello, The Magnificent Ambersons, Touch of Evil, and the wonderful but still unreleased The Other Side of the Wind, Welles was a central.
Figure in the art of our time. With This Is Orson Welles, though, we get to meet the Welles we wish we'd always known ourselves - the world's master storyteller. A collection of penetrating, fascinating, witty, and wild conversations between Welles and acclaimed director Peter Bogdanovich, spanning nearly ten years and eight cities around the world, This Is Orson Welles is filled with Orson's signature joie de vivre, and it reveals the great man's own thoughts on his.
Work in radio, theatre, film, and television; his comments on Hollywood and Broadway producers, directors, and stars; and his wonderful views of life: the difference between feline and canine people; why men like magic shows and women don't; why actors are the third sex. This is the book that Welles ultimately considered his autobiography, but it's a memoir like no other. Epic in scope, but always as magnificently engaging as Welles himself was in real life, This Is.
Orson Welles will leave you agreeing with Marlene Dietrich, who also said (using Welles' words from Touch of Evil): "He was some kind of man. What does it matter what you say about people?" Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Wrong, Past Me. Very wrong indeed.
Here was a man who could very well have done anything with his life, but since the love of the theatre and performing arts held him so, he couldn't ignore the joy it brought; this joy led him to spending most of his life doing whatever he could to raise money to make the next film. That was the goal.
Peter made Orson come to life for me with the interviews, brought to light just how in depth the man was, how funny he could be, and truly succeeded in displaying Welles as a man of passion-- of experience, very much the portrait of a lifelong perfectionist never truly satisfied, even in exhibiting the elements of his underrated greatness.
How lucky he must have been to had known him. ( )
