"The Hearts of Age" is an 8-minute short film that had its 80th anniversary last year and it was written and directed by Orson Welles, who would have become 100 this year. Welles also acts in here just like his co-director William Vance. It is black-and-white and a silent film and I must say in terms of contents, it looks worse than many films that were made in the 1910s and 1920s. If this one is worth the watch, it is for how bizarre it is. The story is absolutely impossible to understand, if there even is one. An old lady is played by a very young lady actually. I cannot say this got me interested in Welles' works at all. Then again, this was his first effort as a filmmaker and he wasn't even 20 at this point, so we may forgive him I guess. Nobody's perfect. Just don't watch it.
