The Director\'s Club finish our epic look at epic auteur Orson Welles, who managed to continue creating some amazing film moments despite becoming mostly exiled from the Hollywood studio system.\\xa0 In Part II we look from his takes on Shakespeare with "Othello" and "Chimes At\\xa0Midnight", through his acidic noir "Touch of Evil", to his \'deconstructumentary\' film "F for Fake", and along the way talk about his many unfinished films (one of which may see the light of day yet).\\xa0 His work proved so inspiring we not only looked to compare them to the efforts of Jacques Tati and Alfred Hitchcock, but had to invent words to describe some characters and even hairstyles in his movies!\\xa0 Hope we were able to bring across the brazenly enthusiastic creativity to be found in Orson Welles\' films!
