Around the World with Orson Welles (1955)

EndedDocumentary showTravel

In 1955, Orson Welles directed and hosted a mini series for British television. He leads us through a few famous places of Europe with his inimitable touch. Somewhere between a home movie and a cinematic essay, these short films have been described by French critics as the missing link in Welles' work.

Madrid Bullfight

Orson Welles' interesting commentary on bullfighting with scenes inside the Madrid arena, combines vivid shots of a matador being thrown by a bull as well as looking at some of the fearful trappings that make up this strange and much maligned sport. Welles neither shocks, sickens or horrifies, but nor does he romanticise or glamorise the bullfight.
