Early Welles
28 February 2008
Hearts of Age, The (1936)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Orson Welles acts and co-directs this, his first film, which is a take off on surrealist filmmaker Luis Bunuel. It's interesting watching this film knowing what Welles would go onto do but overall this isn't overly good. The visual technique is nice as is Welles plus we get to see him act with his first wife Virginia Nicholson.

You can find this short on Image's Unseen Cinema Collection, which features several rare and important films, which will be very interesting to fans of early cinema.
