The Other Side of the Wind
Jake Hanford was killed in a car accident. But shortly before his death, Jake was trying to revive his career as a brilliant director again by producing a comedy film, full of unsubstantiated sexual scenes, violence and comedy. Suddenly, at the time of Hanaford's concert, The Other Side of the Wind was released but it was not complete but it was successful.

In 2018, the film feels like a relic. Because, though, it's a new film from Welles ... it's an important relic.November 01, 2018
It's a mess, and I think perhaps Welles knew it would be... I can envision this as a future cult classic, but you may need the stamina of Huston's liver to get through it.November 01, 2018
Even if it may not exactly be the movie its creator would have made, the artifact is still a thorny, inventive, brain-melting tour de force that confirms Welles's skill at finding beauty and meaning within chaos.November 01, 2018
Cinephiles will dive deep into The Other Side of the Wind, no doubt about that. What they find, and if it's of any worth, is up for debate. Frankly, I didn't see much of anything here.November 01, 2018
What to call this Hollywood takedown from Orson Welles, besides the best 1970's movie to be released in the 21st century? It's also chaotic and jumbled and strictly for those who care about the history of film and its indispensable master builder.November 01, 2018
"The Other Side of the Wind" increasingly comes to resemble a shattered cinematic hall of mirrors.November 01, 2018
What we have is something of a seductive tease, a haunted film that at times entrances and delights and at times offends and embarrasses.November 01, 2018
We'll be debating it, defending it, reappraising it for a long time to come.November 01, 2018
Watching the flickering images will convince you that you're in the hands of a master, even if he's not on his best form.October 31, 2018
'So, how was it?' my wife asked when I called her after the screening ended. 'There's a lot to unpack,' was the only reply I could think of at that moment.November 01, 2018
It's not a rose-dud.November 01, 2018
As well and as wildly as the movie-making satire plays, at the heart of this film is humiliation on exhibition.
