A Hollywood director emerges from semi-exile with plans to complete work on an innovative motion picture.
"Orson Welles was one of the most important names in American entertainment, responsible for the famous adaptation of 'War of the Worlds' on the radio (the one that some claim caused a collective hysteria) and the classic 'Citizen Kane'. Between 1970 and 1976, Welles focused his efforts on 'The Other Side of the Wind', a film about a director (played by John Huston, of 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre') who strives to complete his last feature. With life imitating art, the filmmaker was unable to finish the production due to various problems, including legal issues - the Shah of Iran was one of the financiers and his regime was deposed by the revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini. After 33 years since Welles' death, Netflix acquired the rights to the film to launch it on the platform. A unique opportunity for cinephiles to finally watch a lost chapter of the seventh art. Watch it together with the documentary 'I'll Be Loved When I Die', also available on Netflix."
