Description

Toronto premiere!

Dive into the visual world of legendary actor and auteur Orson Welles—through his own eyes, sketched with his own hand, and painted with his own brush. Granted unprecedented access to hundreds of Welles' artworks—never-before-seen glimpses into the filmmaker’s rich inner life—visionary cinema historian Marc Cousins sheds new light on the passions, politics, and obsessions that fueled his creativity and inspired his masterpieces. Executive produced by Michael Moore, The Eyes of Orson Welles explores how the genius of this brilliant 20th-century showman resonates now more urgently than ever.
