In the final fifteen years of the life of legendary director Orson Welles he pins his Hollywood comeback hopes on a film, The Other Side of the Wind ,in itself a film about an aging film director trying to finish his last great movie.

This was recommended to me by a friend, which is fortunate because at face value it is something I would normally ignore. Imagine my surprise when it turns out to be fantastic.

It's like an Orson Welles Inception, which is made even weirder by how uncannily older (and larger) Welles resembles older (and larger) DiCaprio.

Oh, the one disappointing thing, in my opinion, is that The Other Side of the Wind was actually released. I feel like the project as a whole would be better if only viewed through the documentary of the film about a documentary of a film.
