The Other Side of the Wind was a film directed by Orson Welles, which was released posthumously in 2018. The film is a satire of the film industry and features a fictional director named J.J. "Jake" Hannaford, played by John Huston, who returns to Hollywood after a long absence to make a comeback film.
The film is shot in a documentary style, with a mixture of black and white and color footage. It features a large ensemble cast, which includes many well-known actors and filmmakers, such as Peter Bogdanovich, Susan Strasberg, and Dennis Hopper.
Hannaford's comeback film is called "The Other Side of the Wind", and it is a controversial and experimental work that he hopes will revive his career. However, the production is plagued by problems, with Hannaford struggling to finance the film and keep control over the creative process.
As the filming progresses, Hannaford becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid, and the film becomes a meditation on the nature of creativity, art, and fame. The Other Side of the Wind was intended by Welles to be a meta-commentary on the film industry itself, and its troubled production and posthumous release only add to its legend.
