Magician: The Astonishing Life And Work Of Orson Welles (12A)

Released to coincide with the centenary of the birth of Orson Welles, this affectionate documentary shines a light on the precocious actor, director and writer, who is considered to have peaked with his very first film: the epic Citizen Kane. The film is divided into four sections, each surveying aspects of Welles’ life and the work he created after this critically adored debut including The Magnificent Ambersons, The Lady From Shanghai, Touch Of Evil, The Trial and Chimes At Midnight.
