"Highly Recommended. This excellent documentary reveals
the passionate influence Welles' Italian experiences had on his personal and
professional life." -National Media Review "This is fascinating footage of Orson Welles' life and work in Italy and extended reminiscences by producers, directors, editors, and actors who worked with him. Welles was arguably a creative genius, but he never mastered many common, everyday tasks (for example, writing a check was beyond him) and his genius was obscured by his inability to bring projects to completion. The extended saga of his unfinished magnum opus 'Don Quixote' is a main focus of this documentary." -EMRO Review Associated Article: The Cameraman -The New Yorker Magazine "Rosabella" is the name given to "Rosebud" in the Italian version of the acclaimed Orson Welles' classic, Citizen Kane. Here we trace the 20-year story of the great actor/director's life in Italy through remarkable film footage, as well as impassioned interviews with those who lived and worked close with him at the time. Private sentiments of Lea Padovani and Paola Mori, his third wife, are revealed; plus rare footage concerning Citizen Kane, Macbeth, Othello, and the unfinished Don Quixote and Julius Caesar. Sub-titled. Produced by Maia Borelli. 08DR/CL JSCA 60 min. Associated Programs: The Stranger and Who's Out There? The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Life, and Jane Eyre |
