I’m sure most of you are aware that last year the most definitive study we are likely to ever get about Welles’s Brazilian/Latin American period was published: “It’s All True: Orson Welles’s Pan-American Odyssey”, by Catherine Benamou, (University of California Press ISBN-13: 978-0520242487) . Here’s a link to a terrific interview with Ms. Benamou about her book and Welles:

And here’s a wonderful quote from Grande Otelo, citing Welles’s Brazilian/ Latin American experience as the beginning of something in his art and life:
“In Rio, Orson began his roaming journey that never had an end.”
