Good "Confidential Report" essay

[ChristopherBanks]

Some of you may already have seen this, but it contains this sentence which I thought was a very astute summary of Welles' films:

"...Orson Welles' films never conclude with a return to the status quo because they occur, from start to finish, in a world that doesn't accept compromises."

that's a good essay. probably because it was written in french and translated to english. had it been written in america, the word 'fat', and 'washed up' would be all over it. kind of like our american made documentary, WHAT WENT WRONG.

I didn't notice until I'd finished reading it that the author is only 19 as well...
