Ultimately, it is guesswork by outsiders to determine Welles’s true intention for execution, and knowing that always prevents a barrier from becoming truly engaged with the storytelling.

Episode 18: The Danse Macabre

| Original Score: 90/100 | Sep 2, 2021

Orson Welles' final film is a staccato, bitter [skewering of] modernity, standing highest when it falls into itself à la Godard and Vertov.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2020

The Other Side of the Wind is a fascinating, seriously flawed product of its time. With all its faults, it is important viewing for anyone concerned with the fate of art and society.

| Jul 15, 2020

The latest film by Welles, shot in a false documentary style that flirts with metacinema, is an experimental drama that has a contagious ecstasy when it satirizes the artifices of Hollywood cinema. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 27, 2020

An absolutely fascinating object. Not among Welles' greatest works, but irich and impressive.

| Jun 26, 2020

It's impossible to say whether the resulting product is what Welles would have created, but what exists certainly provides much food for thought.

| Feb 24, 2020

What we're seeing isn't so much an Orson Welles film about the unknowability of the artist as it is that very unknowability made manifest. We were never going to see what Welles had originally intended; perhaps this best-case-scenario is rightfully obtuse

| Aug 7, 2019

A daring, reckless, uncompromising film that has risen like a phoenix from the ashes to take its place in the pantheon of great things.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 3, 2019

Whether or not the film is beautifully atrocious or just atrocious is going to be divisive, but ultimately, The Other Side of the Wind portrays a director contemplating his legacy, and in Welles's case, it cements it.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 13, 2019

'The Other Side of the Wind' is an overdose of content and subtext, but it is the price that had to be paid to resuscitate a project that was dead and buried for a number of reasons and that we should receive with open arms. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 4, 2019

A salvaged, chaotic cinematic curiosity - for avid film buffs.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 13, 2019

Such a noisy style leaves a garbled message, but the feeling that finally resonates is tragedy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 8, 2019

Sure to be wildly overpraised and cursorily dismissed, The Other Side of the Wind is often awful and frequently great, occasionally at the same time. The main thing is that it gives Welles the last word.

| Jan 7, 2019

Where Hannaford crashes and burns, Welles succeeds with brilliance, adding to the sense of tragedy surrounding the film. It should have come out in its time.

| Dec 18, 2018

Welles' chaotic final film has lots of drinking, some sex.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 11, 2018

That this hapless, incoherent mess brings down the curtain on a fabled filmmaker's career when it was expected to cap it is lamentable, but not entirely unpredictable.

| Nov 30, 2018

Overall, Wind magnificently displays Welles' filmmaking brilliance while baring the aging auteur's frailties and frustrations.

| Nov 30, 2018

More loved [now] than when he was alive, in death Orson Welles is no longer alone. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 26, 2018

An astonishment even wilder and more rewardingly confounding than its fabled reputation. I watched this movie twice the day it premiered and haven't shut up about it since.
