It is ironic that the three literary adaptations Orson Welles made in the 1960s are the least seen of his films, yet comprise some of his best and most adventurous work. He filmed Franz Kafka’s THE TRIAL in 1962, CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT in 966 (Welles’ version of Shakespeare’s chronicle plays), and Isak Dinesen’s THE IMMORTAL STORY in 1968. All three were shot in Europe, after Welles’ second departure from Hollywood.
NWFF is pleased to (re)introduce Seattle to this least explored era of one of cinema’s iconic yet misunderstood directors.
