Callow is a meticulous biographer. Similar to the 1st book, perhaps slightly more accessible. Again, an undeniably well researched book. The book's center seems to lie in a subjective critique of Welles' life. For my tastes, there was much too much space devoted to Welles' lesser known or unfinished projects as opposed to his films or projects which remain. I thoroughly enjoyed the chapter on The Lady From Shanghai, which was interesting but too short. For me, these books are a love-hate situation. I greatly admire the amount of research and committment that has gone into these books. I think the writing could be less convoluted, less subjective, and more accessible to the reader. After reading 900+ pages, it seems like I am still waiting for more behind the scenes glimpses into Welles' surviving projects. I am very curious as to the details about his performance and involvement in The Third Man -- hopefully its forthcoming in the 3rd book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The reason for the decline of Orson Welles's career is a hotly debated issue, but decline it certainly did. When Citizen Kane, his first film, opened in 1941, Welles was universally acclaimed as the most audacious filmmaker alive. But instead of marking the beginning of a triumphant career in Hollywood, the film still regularly voted the greatest ever made proved to be an exception in Welles's life and work. In 1947 Welles left America for Europe and lived for the best part of twenty years in self-imposed exile. Welles himself famously quipped 'I started at the top and worked my way down' - the second volume of Simon Callow's compelling biography tells the story of that complex and protracted descent from grace.
