They'll Love Me When I'm Dead
These documentary scenes have a deep look at the life of that great director, Orson Welles, and present a summary of his long-exile life in Europe, absent from art. Orson was struggling to complete 'The Other Side of the Wind,' a comedy film he was struggling to complete, a new comeback after a long absence from Hollywood and her art. Perhaps he was not lucky because he died before the film was completed in a serious accident.
