The Other Side of the Wind

40 years in the making.

A labyrinthine, formally inventive satire of Hollywood ego and artistic decline that uses mockumentary and metacinematic play to explore mortality, legacy, and the cost of creative ambition.

At a media-swamped party to celebrate his seventieth birthday and screen his avant-garde film-in-progress, a legendary but jaded Hollywood director is faced both with voracious fans and unsettling questions about what became of his lead actor.
