F is for Fake -- great mindfuck, partly because it appears that he's hellbent on deconstructing his own cinematic authority when in fact he's doing the OPPOSITE (viz. his locating himself in the editing room) - his capricious excursions and tangents from whatever loose plot there is only underline his ultimate control. especially vis-a-vis the half-naked girls who show up from time to time.
-- Tracer Hand (tracerhan...), February 10th, 2002.
So there you go. ;-)

"Callow appreciates Welles’s post-Kane film work without neglecting its flaws or denying Welles’s own share of responsibility for the shambles in which studios tended to release what he had shot. The culprit was not inevitably crass commercialism but often an absent Welles, who had already sped off towards his next project, leaving editing and sound, for which radio had sharpened his ear, to underinstructed colleagues."

His Dylan biography is worthless as criticism but extremely entertaining.

Also great outtake of Welles directing Arkadin's daughter (OW's future wife) while acting in a two-shot with her: "Again, warmer, chin a little higher, don't pause..."

Got the Arkadin box after Christmas and have so far just watched the Corinth cut. Good lord what a loopy (and loopily wonderful) movie. I did like the appearance of Goldfinger as the "Christmas Merry" guy.
