Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles
(2014)This insightful documentary explores the enigma and polymath that was Orson Welles. Directed by critically-acclaimed documentary maker, Chuck Workman, Magician divides Welles’ life into four chapters, with Workman portraying him as an artist who never stopped working throughout his career, but whose unconventional approach ensured he was much misunderstood by Hollywood.
