What is the best Orson Welles movie of all time?
Welles reinvented cinema with his debut and kept bending the rules for four decades, often without enough money or studio support. From his towering early classics to his late experimental essays — which film defines him best?
Citizen Kane
A journalist investigates the life of a recently deceased media mogul through fragmented memories in cinema's most celebrated film.
Touch of Evil
A corrupt border-town detective and a Mexican narcotics officer clash in this shadowy, morally complex noir masterpiece.
Chimes at Midnight
Welles' personal favorite of his own films, a Shakespeare adaptation centering on the tragic arc of the lovable rogue Falstaff.
The Lady from Shanghai
A sailor becomes entangled in a murder plot with a seductive woman and her ruthless husband in this mind-bending noir thriller.
F for Fake
A playful, genre-defying essay film about art forgers, fakery, and the nature of truth, narrated by Welles himself.
