They'll Love Me When I'm Dead
Orson Welles in a new documentary story; these scenes present a summary of his life in exile for a long time in Europe, absent from art. Orson was struggling to complete 'The Other Side of the Wind,' a thrilling comedy that was a new comeback after a long absence from Hollywood. Perhaps he was not lucky because he died before completing the legendary film that everyone was waiting for.
