Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles

A reverent, intellectually rich portrait of Orson Welles as a restless creative genius whose ambition and artistry defined modern cinema.

The extraordinary life of Orson Welles (1915-85), an enigma of Hollywood, an irreducible independent creator: a musical prodigy, an excellent painter, a master of theater and radio, a modern Shakespeare, a magician who was always searching for a new trick to surprise his audience, a romantic and legendary figure who lived only for cinema.
