A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
“Easily the best book on Orson Welles.” –The New
Yorker
Orson Welles arrived in Hollywood as a boy
genius, became a legend with a single perfect film, and then spent
the next forty years floundering. But Welles floundered so
variously, ingeniously, and extravagantly that he turned failure
into “a sustaining tragedy”–his thing, his song. Now the prodigal
genius of the American cinema finally has the biographer he
deserves. For, as anyone who has read his novels and criticism
knows, David Thomson is one of our most perceptive and splendidly
opinionated writers on film.
In Rosebud, Thomson follows the wild arc of
Welles’s career, from The War of the Worlds broadcast to the
triumph of Citizen Kane, the mixed triumph of The Magnificent
Ambersons, and the strange and troubling movies that followed.
Here, too, is the unfolding of the Welles persona–the grand
gestures, the womanizing, the high living, the betrayals. Thomson
captures it all with a critical acumen and stylistic dash that make
this book not so much a study of Welles’s life and work as a
glorious companion piece to them.
