The greatness of Orson Welles' cinematic creation, presented through landmark films in the history of the 7th Art, as much as it has been consciously or unconsciously attempted to be forgotten over time, always stands as a point of reference, as a cinematic milestone that innovates, opens up possibilities for further viewing of visual meanings, and at the same time mobilizes personal reflection. All this, moreover, in an era where it seems that in cinema everything - or almost everything - has already been said, and the awkwardness of finding new meanings and expressive ways is evident.
Panagiotis Doikos, as a theorist of cinematic language, attempts here a detailed exploration - film by film - of the logic of forms, to which the uniqueness of the Wellesian universe is owed, which through the emotion it provokes and the charm it exerts, raises our reflection and our interpretive disposition in the philosophical field.
The book gives - for the first time - the opportunity for the initiated cinephile to "reread" the work of the great master with a different eye, while at the same time inviting the casual cinephile to discover a world of special charm, intensity, and inspiration.
