Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles

Directed by Chuck Workman

With Simon Callow, Christopher Welles, Joanne Hill Styles, Norman Lloyd and Julie Taymor

The extraordinary life of Orson Welles (1915-85), an enigma of Hollywood, an irreducible independent creator: a musical prodigy, an excellent painter, a master of theater and radio, a modern Shakespeare, a magician who was always searching for a new trick to surprise his audience, a romantic and legendary figure who lived only for cinema.
