Well, that's the best thing Gilliam has done in 20 years. As someone who enjoys his messy and fragmented films, I found this one focused, balanced, and presenting a complete tapestry (including a lot of autobiographical touches,) with TG solidly in control the entire time. Who knew Adam Driver is a ...

That's fabulous, an air check of the first episode, something I've never come across in decades of general searching for Welles' radio work. As Craig stated elsewhere, there's a lot of compression on it versus the master recording Lilly has. A treasure for we few radiophiles. Thank you for posting it.

I'd missed Rex Reed's take, from September 28th: "Picking the worst of 30 mostly forgettable films in this year’s event is very difficult. There are so many contenders. Worst of the worst, the winner hands down is an epic disaster called The Other Side of the Wind, comprising crudely edited cli...

it utilized a technique Welles employed in Touch of Evil, but not seen until the 1998 restoration. That is, at the start of TOE, when Heston and Leigh are walking through the town you hear the sounds and 'hub bub' of the various establishments they pass, with no music to encumber the scene. I wonde...

That's a perfectly valid question for the board, and sounds like something Welles would have said; I don't recognize where though. Maybe he was referring to the 'Rashomon' thing, retelling the same story or same scenes from different points of view; that seems to have been what most interested him a...

Chicago Film Critics nominees for Best Editing were posted this morning: - First Man - The Other Side of the Wind - Roma - Widows - You Were Never Really Here As were the nominees for very other category. At least they noticed Wind for something. It's my top film in every category this year, but ho...

A dreadful excess of noise reduction, but a nice production for vinyl with some Mercury alumni
