Review of The Other Side of the Wind (2018) by Jluis_001 — 02 Nov 2018

This is a strange, disjointed and to a certain extent experimental film.

It seems ironic that the film concentrates its themes on the death of old Hollywood and the avant-garde filmmakers considering this film and the film within it, transpire avant-garde elements in almost all its execution.

On The Other Side of the Wind is a film that will not satisfy any casual movie fan. I hate to sound pretentious but in this case it's like that. The film itself is enormously pretentious.

The whole story of its creative hell and all the time it took for the film to reach the screens, in this case Netflix, is ​​an important factor to see it but hardly defining and doesn't speak at all about the final quality it.

It's evident that Orson Welles conceived an incredibly ambitious film but also muddled and a bit incoherent.

This film is a piece of cinematographic history and that's why it's a must-see for any respected film lover. Now add it that is a film by Orson Wells. His last film and its myth grows even more.

As of right now I admit I don't think it's a masterpiece as it was mentioned but it's a very interesting film and I also believe it will grow more with future revisits, which it deserves and needs.
