@cagwa It's *meant* to be mumbo-jumbo. This is one of the films-within-the-film - it's a documentary by a pretentious film-maker, making a film about the subject of the film. But as you say, it's not been cut yet. I would LOVE to see a full cut of this 'lost' movie.
At the time this was filmed (1971), John Huston hadn't yet been cast as Jake Hannaford, so his lines of dialogue are missing. Look up "The Other Side of the Wind" on wikipedia for some context on the film this is from, and what Orson Welles' intentions were.
So this is why Steven Spielberg wouldn't touch the film. He saw it at as a scathing satire of his type. I hope he enjoys his sleigh from the set of Citizen Kane, the greedy fuck.
Jaglom looking like the great Portuguese actor Joaquim de Almeida.

2:39 "This is shit! This is crap. This is intellectual bullshit." You can say that again, Henry.

Welles said the character of Jake was a "Hemingway type, the last of the machos".

If these are dailies of Far Side of the Wind, the movie should never be cut together. It's a lot of talking heads mumbo jumbo, not art.
