The Other Side of the Wind (1970 - 75, 2018 Orson Welles)

Yes, I guess the longest delay between wrapping and exhibition. In typical Orson style it was made all over the place and at different times, Lilli Palmer's scenes shot first, in Switzerland, some later filmed at Peter Bogdanovich's house.

Imagine Citizen Kane, no - Mr Arkadin - in a blender with The Trial, Zabriskie Point, 8½ and Khrustalov, Get the Car! and you might get some idea of this psychedelic mess. Recognisably Welles in places but like one on cocaine or speed - and the film within a film - whilst admittedly displaying some striking moments - is another mess (Oja Kodar and her leading man should have remained in obscurity).

Fine performances from John Huston, Peter Bogdanovich, Paul Stewart (Kane). With Norman Foster, Lilli Palmer, Edmond O'Brien, Mercedes McCambridge, Cameron Mitchell. Incredible editing (initially by Welles at breakneck speed, then by Bob Murawski), striking photography (Gary Graver) in all sorts of shapes and colours, music from Michel Legrand.
