Just watched a terrific documentary on Orson Welles, concentrating on his artistic vision and showing how his drawings and paintings reflected his filmic sensibilities. But much more than this, it was an illuminating, poetic discourse on his life's work. Inspiring, moving, informative, a love letter to the man himself through the words and insight of someone who truly appreciates Orson's tremendous, iconic talent. If you didn't get to see this astonishing programme, it will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer very soon. Highly recommended for all fans of my own work who wish to know about my personal inspirations and heroes.
