Just finished watching/rewatching most of Welles' film. Very consistent overall, a small decline near the end.
Here's how they stack up for me, not much betwen them.
9
The Trial - perfectly claustrophobic and dreamlike
The Magnificent Ambersons
MacBeth - like a cross between a Dreyer film and a lo-fi black-metal clip, brilliant
Touch of Evil - dark, down and dirty noir
8
The Lady From Shanghai
Othello
Citizen Kane
7
Confidential Report - liked it a little more than I remembered
The Stranger - liked it a little less than i remembered
Chimes at Midnight - still very strong visually, but couldn't really get into it, the odd comic feel to some of it put me off
The Immortal Story - nice little vignette, reminded me of later Antonioni for some reason
6
F for Fake - interesting experiment

5 citizen kane best movie, highest score possible
4.5 lady from shanghai his most enjoyable film
4 Othello kind of weak, don't really like it that much
3 magnificent ambersons the book is way better
3 the trial very strange movie
2 Macbeth too many long speeches ruined it
2 touch of evil dated I think, not a great movie
1 f for fake really dated, seems pointless

I have not seen all his films but, like most people, I would put Citizen Kane at the top. Then...
Othello
The Magnificent Ambersons
Touch of Evil
The Lady From Shaghai
Mr. Arkadin
Chimes at Midnight
The Trial
F For Fake

They're all perfect 10s obviously. Seriously? Don't think I could name any director where I'd even come close to giving 10s to every film. Would you be able to rank them within that 10 rating at least? |

Filming 'Othello'- 6/10 13. The Spirit of Charles Lindbergh- 6/10 I've not seen any of his shorts or "straight" documentaries. is pretty good/mildly depressing. It's the last thing Welles saw through to completion in his lifetime, and he seems to mostly come away from it filled with regrets. Lindbergh is simply a recorded monologue that was never intended for public release, but of course you can find it on the internet pretty easily. |
