Description
Orson Welles: A Life in Exile Simon Callow's biography of Orson Welles is a complex and nuanced exploration of the life and work of one of Hollywood's most audacious filmmakers. Welles's first film, Citizen Kane, was hailed as a masterpiece upon its release in 1941, but it marked the beginning of a tumultuous career in Hollywood. Despite his initial success, Welles found himself increasingly unable to function within the studio system. As Callow reveals, Welles's struggles were not just with the constraints of Hollywood, but also with his own temperament and the monstrous personalities he encountered along the way. This biography gives full weight to the range of Welles's activities beyond Hollywood, from stage productions to experimental films and television dramas. At its core, however, is a story of an artist struggling to come to terms with his native land and its cultural landscape. Published in 2007, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of cinema's most innovative and enigmatic figures.
