About this listen
🎙️ A Great Episode of THE ARTISTS 🎙️
In this riveting conversation, we’re joined by legendary film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum, a long-time contributor to Cahiers du Cinéma, former lead critic of the Chicago Reader, and one of the world’s foremost authorities on Orson Welles. Rosenbaum—also the co-editor of the essential film book This Is Orson Welles—takes us deep into the cinematic and philosophical legacy of one of the most enigmatic auteurs in film history. www.jonathanrosenbaum.net

-
This Is Orson Welles and Walter Murch’s new book on the craft of editing and sound
-
Who was Orson Welles? Myth, genius, renegade—or all three?
-
“All of man’s achievements turn to dust”—Welles’s haunting existential reflections
-
The elusive The Other Side of the Wind and Welles's fascination with dreamers and illusions
-
A timeless breakdown of the classic Citizen Kane

And finally, Rosenbaum reflects on Welles’s greatest quality as a director—his fearless ability to experiment, subvert form, and chase the poetic truth.
