Orson Welles in Spain

Talking about his unproduced Bullfighting movie, sounds 50 years ahead of his time.

[@elorigendelaspalabras2349]

Mr. Welles understood Spain as very few foreigners have been able to ❤

[@Viewer-ld5rc]

What an incredible piece of film. He’s talking about a very primal version of The Other Side of the Wind… Astounding.

[@debussy10]

This was directed by the Maysles brothers; the surviving brother says he's going to use this plus more footage he has to make a documentary.

[@r.brookswilliams7476]

Mesmerizing as always, Mr. Welles. I wish you could have realized more of your projects.

[@wildride6349]

This film is the seed that led to the creation of The Other aside of the Wind, finally completed by Netflix in 2018

What's it about?

[@isabeamon1190]

@@mr_red13 Watch it. It is a misunderstood masterpiece that was filmed decades ahead of its time. Way before mockumentary or found footage were things, Orson Welles invented both. He was a genius among geniuses.

[@ajnorthrop9121]

The idea that Huston’s character is a bull being ritually murdered by all the journos at his screening/party had not occurred to me but it’s inescapable after seeing this. Should be required viewing before (or after) watching the incredible genius of TOSOTW.

[@joaofernandes4769]

In the end Mr. Welles makes the distinction between two kinds of people who live of bullfighting: the ones who do it for money, and the ones who do it for emotional reasons living it in second hand. In the 50´s and 60´s if Mr. Welles had visited Portugal and seen the "Forcados", he would knew some bullfighters who dont do it for money and dont live bullfight in second hand.

[@Viewer-ld5rc]

That is to say that they do it because of passion?

[@MrBenzcdi]

fascinating to watch. wonder if there is more footage out there

[@blimportismard912]

I believe much of this project transferred to orson's aproach to other side of the wind, including the character of jake hannaford

[@kentallard8852]

Yes in the first draft the character was a bull fighter

[@goodboybuddy1]

Like finding a precious jewel lying on the ground at my feet.

[@xrattlesnakex]

Joder, que pedazo de video

[@kraken138]

Is this the hustling that he hated doing so much?

[@MrBenzcdi]

yeah, that’s true. he had to act in order to direct. he also loved spain so maybe just a tiny hustle here 😃

what year is this?

オーソン・ウェルズは、三人の娘がいるけど、リタとの間の娘は動画にでてるのかな

[@Newrad91491]

[@MrPaulOfield]

Sometimes its better not to know much about your heroes...So sad he loved bullfighting! (Despite his metaphoric explanation). What a pity.

[@kraken138]

He ended up hating it, but still calling some bullfighters among his best friend. He eventually said he was ashamed of himself for "following the bulls."

[@mikiex]

​@@kraken138 not exactly hate, best explained in his own words kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6PPaaN6psasaZo , his grave is on the Ordóñez estate.

[@QuicoFerrero]

uuuuuuowowowow so sad...americna hipocrytres....come on...

[@MrPaulOfield]

@@mikiex Didnt see these two comments! Well, is absolutely logical that someone in his context would like bullfighting, I guess. Plus, the human is the human... There is no time in a lifetime to think and argue about every single aspect, philosophyzing several times through the years. The problem would be idealizing him haha loosing the perspective of him being a human and, thus, imperfect. Hope this makes sense! Tryed to translate from my native spanish without dictionary :P
