To Let Go

100hearteyes:

It’s a strange feeling, uncomfortable even. To know that your daughter is happy — and to hate everything that the person who makes her happy represents, to trust them so little you would rather hurt your daughter now by removing them from her life than see her hurt a lot more later when they inevitably break her heart. So Abby feels her heart expand at every smile that blooms in Clarke’s lips — only to feel it constrict painfully every time she remembers who triggers it.

To Let Go

For nearly four decades, the world’s most famous incomplete film was The Other Side of the Wind, which Orson Welles began shooting in the early 1970s and hadn’t finished editing at the time of his death. With financing from Netflix, a team of producers and editors have at last assembled a final cut of the film, which stars John Huston as an aged director on the last day of his life, and a cast that includes Peter Bogdanovich, Mercedes McCambridge, and Welles’s lover Oja Kodar. It opens in theaters and on Netflix.

David Edelstein says: 

“The story of the movie—how Welles made it and what happened to it after his death—is more fun than the movie itself. That’s why Netflix is simultaneously releasing Morgan Neville’s superb, free-form documentary They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead, which chronicles Welles’s last 15 years. Some people will want to see Neville’s doc first. But I say see The Other Side of the Wind, then the doc, then re-watch the film. The two will mingle in your mind—and from that mingling you’ll get something close to the cinematic event for which we’ve waited almost four decades.”
