Orson Welles On Editing

[JohnKoroly]

He's referring to the re-cutting of "Ambersons."

one of the most talented and intelligent human beings in movie history, imo ! great actor, great director, great story-writer/story-teller, great entertainer. and his voice was cool as hell ;-)

[sheerport]

does anyone know - is this from F for Fake?

[orson12]

@sheerport This is from "Filming Othello", his last film, from 1978 - the whole thing (apart form one short sequence of him at a lunch with 2 actors) consists of him by the moviola, speaking to camera.

It's a very rare film, never released on VHS or DVD - #Fluxyveloria1, do you have the rest of the film?

Orson Cart what a LEGEND!!

[FigurinItOut]

Amongst other things, Welles had a great voice!

When the master speaks, I listen.

@TheCrimsonSkull When the master speaks, we should ALL listen.

[Orsley]

When the master speaks of the relationship between cinematic expression and music, he might be speaking of the mature work of the other great American master, Kubrick, whose films from "2001"-on are, more than anything, visual music: color, movement, rhythm and sound, orchestrated toward the abstract expression of an emotional landscape. As Woody Allen has noted, among the Americans only Welles and Kubrick are real film artists.

"...or savaged out of existence." You don't have to be a biographer of his to know what he's referring to!

[JohnKoroly]

That's an understatement.
