The Trial - Criterion Collection
44,95 €A feverishly inspired take on Franz Kafka’s novel, Orson Welles’s The Trial casts Anthony Perkins as the bewildered office drone Josef K., whose arrest for an unspecified crime plunges him into a menacing bureaucratic labyrinth of guilt, corruption, and paranoia. Exiled from Hollywood and creatively unchained, Welles poured his ire at the studio system, McCarthyism, and all forms of totalitarian oppression into this cinematic statement—one of his boldest and most personal, and the film that he himself considered his greatest. Dizzying camera angles, expressionistic lighting, increasingly surreal locations—Welles unleashed the full force of his visual brilliance to convey the nightmarish disorientation of a world gone mad.

F For Fake (1976) - Criterion Collection
32,95 €Tromperie. Tromperie. La magie. Dans F for Fake, une sorte de documentaire de forme libre d'Orson Welles, le cinéaste légendaire (et charlatan autoproclamé) renoue avec joie avec la préoccupation centrale de sa carrière : les lignes ténues entre l'illusion et la vérité, l'art et le mensonge. En commençant par des portraits du faussaire d'art de renommée mondiale Elmyr de Hory et de son biographe tout aussi sournois, Clifford Irving, Welles se lance dans un voyage vertigineux qui expose et se délecte simultanément de la contrefaçon et des faussaires de tous bords, dont Welles lui-même n'est pas le moindre. Charmant et inventif, F for Fake est une farce inspirée et un examen intelligent de la duplicité essentielle du cinéma.
