Orson Welles is a cinematic legend, an extremely colorful and complex figure - on the one hand a well-known auteur and star, on the other an undefined character, often analyzed only through the lens of completed works. The author of Citizen Kane seems to be the most characteristic example of an unfulfilled artist. His enormous potential resulted in relatively few films, which highlights the conflict between the outstanding artist, cinema as an art, and the industry and commercial nature of the movies.
