Orson Welles' The Dreamers (1982) [Movie] Douban
Orson Welles' The Dreamers
director: 奥逊·威尔斯 actor: 奥逊·威尔斯 / 奥雅·柯达
other title: 梦想家
Between 1980 and 1982 Orson Welles shot with very limited means scenes for a film based on two short stories by Isak Dinesen: “The Dreamers” and “Echoes.” The intention was to produce a lavish period movie. Written in collaboration with Oja Kodar, the script weaves the tale of opera singer Pellegrina Leoni, who loses her voice in a fire and then determines from then on to lead the lives of many. The merchant Marcus Coccoza follows her around the world, “a faintly perceptible presence who watches over her.”
Since Welles couldn’t interest any producer in this project, he started filming in the living room and in the backyard of his house near Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Only a few scenes were shot with Oja Kodar in costumes designed by Welles himself. This restoration by the Munich Film Museum contains all the elements that were filmed, recorded, and partially edited by Welles: the lines of Marcus Cocoza, later renamed Marcus Kleek (played by Welles), and two versions of Pellegrina’s farewell.

三个死后被投入地狱的罪人,邮政局小职员伊内丝,巴黎贵妇艾丝黛尔,报社编辑加尔森以及属过场人物的地狱听差。
当他们在地狱密室初始相遇时,彼此之间设防戒备,相互隐瞒生前劣迹:加尔森竭力要让他人相信自己是英雄,实际上他是个在二战中因临阵脱逃被处死的胆小鬼,同时又是个沉溺酒色,折磨妻子的虐待狂;艾丝黛尔掩饰色情狂的身份和杀婴罪责,诡称自己是个为了年老的丈夫断送了青春的贞洁女子;伊内丝则充满敌意地牢记“他人”的存在以求尽可能地包庇自己同性恋的往昔。
但是,他们不仅彼此封闭自己,同时又相互“拷问”他人,每个人无时不在“他人的目光”中存在并受到审视与监督。由于他们生前恶习不改,真实面目迅速裸露。一旦暴露,便无顾忌,三人间形成了一向相互追逐,另一向相互排斥的双向型三角关系:加尔森希望得到伊内丝拒绝艾丝黛尔;伊内丝希望得到艾丝黛尔拒绝加尔森;艾丝黛尔希望得到加尔森拒绝伊内丝。三个痛苦的灵魂像坐上了旋转木马,永在相互追逐又永远追逐不到的“境况”中,相互的追逐成了一场不堪其苦的煎熬,谁也不能得到,谁也不能安宁,谁也不能退场,其苦状若身陷无间地狱。
最终加尔森悟得地狱之中并无刑具的道理:“何必用烤架呢,他人就是地狱!”剧作以加尔森无可奈何地说:“好吧,让我们继续下去吧”一言收场。
Don Quixote (1992) [Movie] Douban IMDb TMDB
Don Quijote de Orson Welles
other title: 奥逊·威尔斯的堂吉诃德 / Don Quijote de Orson Welles
Finished by Jesus Franco and Patxi Irigoyen in 1992. (Orson Welles died in 1985).
In the 1950s, Orson Welles shot some scenes featuring himself as "Orson Welles, the film director" and then little girl 'Patricia McCormack' as a child named "Dulcie" (after Dulcinea), which will be introduced by Welles in the world of Don Quixote. These scenes aren't present in this Jesus Franco version.
According to Spanish film critic Juan Cobos, who had watched an early rough cut of the movie while Orson Welles was still filming material for it, this new version cut and reshaped by Jesus Franco doesn't resemble Welles' vision at all.
The film doesn't include all known footage of Don Quixote. There is footage being privately held in at least two collections in Europe.
In the unfinished doc, Filming the Trial, Orson Welles said that if Don Quixote was ever finished, he would have called it "When are you going to finish Don Quixote?"
Unlike other unfinished Orson Welles films, Don Quixote's incomplete state was not because of lack of finances. Welles always considered his Don Quixote a "private exercise". Or as he put it, he worked on it like an author works on a novel; under no obligations, no time constraints, and could finish it whenever he feels like it.
Orson Welles began filming this picture in 1955 and worked on it off and on over the years.

威爾斯唯一一部公映的彩色電影,故事依舊奇情:澳門富商從秘書口中聽到一個愛情傳說,有人為了香燈有後願意付錢找人與妻子上床。傳說歸傳說,但澳門富商卻要使這個不朽故事成真,找來美女珍.摩露,當正是自己妻子,要她找人轟烈地做愛做的事。乍聽下來真是一場天方夜譚,但影片拍來感人至深,53歲的威爾斯與成熟的珍.摩露演出動人不已,最後一個鏡頭更被影迷形容是「魔術」,令影片入圍柏林國際電影節競逐最佳電影金熊獎。
The only colour film by Welles publicly released is another showcase of the absurdity of human nature. A Macau millionaire is told a legend about someone who is willing to pay a huge sum for someone who would sleep with his wife in order to produce an heir. In an act to make the legend real and to immortalise it, the millionaire finds Jeanne Moreau to be his wife and starts to search for the man who would make love to her. A potent performance by Welles and Moreau makes the film purely magical; a Golden Berlin Bear nominee for Berlin International Film Festival.
