"The Other Side of the Wind" is an experimental drama directed, co-written, co-produced and co-edited by Orson Welles. The film was shot intermittently between 1970 and 1976 and was intended to be Welles' comeback after two decades spent mostly in Europe. The film was never completed due to legal and financial complications. Following Welles' death in 1985, there were several attempts to finish the project, and the rights were eventually acquired by Royal Road in 2014. Overseen by actor and filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich, and produced by Frank Marshall, the film finally premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival and was released on November 2, 2018 via Netflix.
A satire of Hollywood, the film stars John Huston as a legendary film director who is struggling to forge his last great comeback as a major filmmaker. The cast also includes Bogdanovich, Oja Kodar, Susan Strasberg and Norman Foster.
