A scene from the movie Mr. Arkadin (Confidential Report).
The centennial year of Orson Welles’ birth is drawing to a close and the Northwest Film Center in Portland, Oregon is offering the last major retrospect of 2015.
Its Orson Welles at 100 series kicks off on Saturday, December 12, and will continue through January 4 with a wide assortment of Welles-directed films, notable acting performances and a documentary.
The Northwest Film Center offers what it accurately described as a primer of Welles’ work. “While it proudly features some of his most lauded masterpieces, the series also dives deeper into some of Welles’ lesser-known work, as well as a handful of films he acted in and sometimes surreptitiously produced and directed.”
