Orson Welles: Touch of Genius

There are no scheduled sessions at this time. Sign up to be notified when this course is available.

Orson Welles famously noted that he started out at the top and had been working his way down ever since. After his meteoric rise to stardom, he spent the rest of his career living in his own shadow–often out of favor in Hollywood but trying desperately to remain true to his revolutionary artistic vision. This class will focus on Welles' achievements as a director. Through interviews and documentaries, you will learn how he had a cinematic sensibility entirely his own, but one which made him a perpetual outsider. From the "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast, to "Citizen Kane","A Touch of Evil", and beyond, we will explore the ways Orson Welles was, perhaps, a misunderstood genius.
