In Reply to: Is Tarantino our Little American Pasolini? posted by Victor Khomenko on July 14, 2004 at 18:18:30:
....But the guy is still young...I waited for Orson Welles to do something great again till the day he died.
When Orson left this world I finally thought to myself...well, I guess KANE is about..it.Who knows, maybe Pulp Fiction will be Tarantinos only.
BTW...What a damn shame Welles did'mt get to direct Catch-22.
Follow Ups:
A Touch Of Evil are masterly, especially the former.
Despite missing footage in each, many consider "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "It's All True" to be on a level with "Citizen Kane".
Well, there are "The Magnificent Ambersons", "The Third Man" (yes, I know credit titles say differently, but this one is Wellesian to the bone); "The Lady from Shanghai"; some excellent Shakespeare: "Macbeth", "Chimes at Midnight", "Othello"...; "Touch of Evil", and that crepuscular jewel "An Immortal Story", which is less than one hour long, but truly deserving being among the best...He lost Hollywood´s favours, and had to face strong financial struggles, but he did it. In style.

And don't forget 1942-43's "Journey into Fear"! The last officially released Mercury Production, ostensibly directed by Norman Foster but with big chunks of it "supervised" by co-star Welles, who at the same time, was directing the last six weeks or so of shooting on "Tha Magnificent Ambersons". A great film? No. An enjoyable entertainment? Here and there...but for the Welles enthusiast there are a few shots and sequences to salivate over.
