A poetic journey into the visual world of the legendary filmmaker and actor Orson Welles (1915-85) that reveals a new portrait of a unique genius, both of his life and of his monumental work: through his own eyes, drawn by his own hand, painted with his own brush.

Thankful I was able to ask Filmmaker Mark Cousins a question about this film at his workshop in the Irish Film Institute.

What a movie. Never watch his movie when tired. I was trying so hard to stay awake. His voice is too calming. I didn’t know that Orson Wells was a painter and drawer.
