ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Orson Welles is an American artist – illustrator, author, writer, actor, producer and director. His first feature-length film, Citizen Kane (1941), lauded by the critics, instantly granted its director the status of cinematographic icon. The films that followed, such as Jane Eyre (1943), The Lady from Shanghai (1947) and Macbeth (1948), confirmed his standing. Unable to put up with the American production system he moved to Europe, where he used his high fees as an actor to self-finance his own productions. These included Othello (1952), Falstaff (1965), The Trial (1962) and, his last film, F for Fake
(1973).
