Orson Welles
3 titles · american classical
Welles was twenty-five when he made Citizen Kane, about a newspaper magnate taken from his mother as a boy and handed to a rich man, and it changed what a Hollywood film could look like. Touch of Evil sets a Mexican drug agent against a corrupt American police captain on the border. The Trial adapts Kafka: Josef K. wakes to find the police in his room, and nobody will tell him what he is charged with.
