BFI Around the World with Orson Welles 1080p Bluray x265-MVGroup



In 1955, Orson Welles directed and hosted a mini series for British television. He leads us through a few famous places of Europe with his inimitable touch. In Paris he introduces us to famous artists such as Juliette Greco or Jean Cocteau who lived in the Saint Germain Des Pres quarter. In London we meet the Chelsea Pensioners, in Spain we attend a Madrid Bullfight and visit the Basque country (Basque Country 1 and 2). Somewhere between a home movie and a cinematic essay, these short films have been described by French critics as the missing link in Welles' work.
