Out of the Past 2019 / The Other Side of the Wind / USA, France, Iran 2018
After years spent in Europe, Jake Hannaford returns to Hollywood in order to resurrect his directing career in style. Surrounded by friends and enemies, he holds an unforgettable party – one that Orson Welles uses to take on Hollywood, European film, and his own legacy.
After many years away, passionate hunter and drunk J. J. “Jake” Hannaford (John Huston) returns to Hollywood in order to relaunch his once famous directing career. At a glitzy party, surrounded by faithful collaborators, rivals and sycophants, Hannaford screens his unfinished movie, in which a silent pair of lovers travels across a photogenic and empty American landscape. While this film within a film parodies such works as Antonioni’s Zabriskie Point, the shots of the party and its scurrying guests refer back to the death of the studio system and to a new Hollywood that is fascinated by innovations from abroad. Left unfinished and now reconstructed, Welles’ picture was to mark his grand return…
