Synopsis
Made with the cooperation of Oja Kodar, Welles' longtime companion, to whom he bequeathed his wealth of unedited films and fragments when he died in 1985. The film tells the story of this extraordinary man's final years and his futile effort to complete "The Other Side of the Wind", starring John Huston. It consists almost entirely of Welles-directed material that has never been seen before except by a tiny group of insiders. Here are scenes from almost all the legendary uncompleted Welles films... plus footage of the great filmmaker fielding questions with enthusiastic members of an audience that had just seen "The Trial", and clips from never-seen TV appearances.
