Plot
Thanks to the privilege of being able to exclusively access hundreds of private drawings and paintings by Orson Welles, the director Mark Cousins is at the head of this documentary, in which he explores the artistic and personal life of the legendary director and actor, the man behind cinema masterpieces like 'Citizen Kane' (considered the best film ever made in hundreds of lists) or 'Touch of evil', to reveal a new Portrait of the artist through his own eyes.
Produced by Michael Moore, the documentary follows the passions, politics and power of this twentieth-century showman, exploring how his genius still resonates in the current era with Donald Trump as president, more than thirty years after his death.
