Why watch this film?
Orson Welles was one of the most important names in American entertainment, responsible for the famous adaptation of 'War of the Worlds' on the radio (the one that some claim caused a collective hysteria) and the classic 'Citizen Kane'. Between 1970 and 1976, Welles focused his efforts on 'The Other Side of the Wind', a film about a director (played by John Huston, of 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre') who strives to complete his last feature. With life imitating art, the filmmaker was unable to finish the production due to various problems, including legal issues - the Shah of Iran was one of the financiers and his regime was deposed by the revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini. After 33 years since Welles' death, Netflix acquired the rights to the film to launch it on the platform. A unique opportunity for cinephiles to finally watch a lost chapter of the seventh art. Watch it together with the documentary 'I'll Be Loved When I Die', also available on Netflix.

Touch of Evil
Directed by the great Orson Welles, 'Touch of Evil' is the last great film of mid-20th century film noir, and it's one of the best from both its director and its genre, even though it wasn't well received at the time. The movie starts with a continuous three-minute shot, considered one of the best tracking shots in all of film history.
Citizen Kane
When they say that 'Citizen Kane' is the best movie ever made, the critics are not exaggerating. Sure, you may turn up your nose at it being an old black and white movie - and for many, a classic cult film is synonymous with "boring". But none of that applies to this masterpiece by Orson Welles. In his first feature film, the communicator and filmmaker (who, in addition to directing, also stars in the production) imprints a story with a modern rhythm and a flawless cinematographic language, in an investigation of the life of the titular character that involves the spectator. Credit also goes to screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (in the story told in the Netflix movie 'Mank'), who was inspired by William Randolph Hearst to create a story of intrigue, politics, success and failure that goes to the heart of post-1929 America. No wonder 'Citizen Kane' is still referenced today, whether in series or comedy productions: it's the go-to movie for any cinephile.
