Mr Arkadin

Zipping around postwar Europe in a mystery that reveals the criminal capitalism that rose in the wake of fascism, this Orson Welles masterpiece (loved by the Cahiers du Cinéma critics) screens on 35mm in the so-called “Corinth” version, AKA Confidential Report—one of nine jumbled variations released over the years. A Pynchonian look at the liminal spaces of Italy, Spain, and Germany after WWII, it features a cast of eccentric character actors like Akim Tamiroff, Paola Mori, Michael Redgrave, and the always magnetic Welles himself.
