The summer heat is unrelenting, let's reduce the scorching sun heat through the evening cool breeze by watching one of the most influential and dynamic directors of all time, Orson Welles's films. May is also the birthday month of the director.

About Orson Welles: George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter who is remembered for his innovative work in film, radio, and theatre. He is considered among the greatest and most influential filmmakers of all time.

In 1937, he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented a series of productions on Broadway through 1941, including Caesar (1937), a modern, politically charged adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

In 1938, his radio anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the Air gave Welles the platform to find international fame as the director and narrator of a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds, which caused some listeners to believe that a Martian invasion was occurring. Although reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed 23-year-old Welles to notoriety.

His first film was Citizen Kane (1941), which is consistently ranked as one of the greatest films ever made, and he co-wrote, produced, directed, and starred in as the title character, Charles Foster Kane. Welles released twelve other features, the most acclaimed of which include The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), The Lady from Shanghai (1947), Touch of Evil (1958), The Trial (1962), Chimes at Midnight (1966) and F for Fake (1973). His distinctive directorial style featured layered and nonlinear narrative forms, dramatic lighting, unusual camera angles, sound techniques borrowed from radio, deep focus shots and long takes. David Thomson credits Welles with "the creation of a visual style that is simultaneously baroque and precise, overwhelmingly emotional, and unerringly founded in reality." He has been praised as "the ultimate auteur". Among Welles's notable roles in films by other directors are Rochester in Jane Eyre (1943), Harry Lime in The Third Man (1949) and Cardinal Wolsey in A Man for All Seasons (1966). Welles was a lifelong lover of Shakespeare, and Peter Bogdanovich writes that Chimes at Midnight, in which Welles plays John Falstaff, is "arguably his best film, and his own personal favorite"; Joseph McBride and Jonathan Rosenbaum have called it Welles's masterpiece, and Vincent Canby wrote "it may be the greatest Shakespearean film ever made."

Film Title: CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT | 1965 | 116 minutes | English Language |

About the Film: Falstaff (Chimes at Midnight) (Spanish: Campanadas a medianoche) is a 1966 period comedy-drama film directed by and starring Orson Welles. The Spanish–Swiss co-production was released in the United States as Chimes at Midnight and in most of Europe as Falstaff. The film's plot centers on William Shakespeare's recurring character Sir John Falstaff and his father-son relationship with Prince Hal, who must choose between loyalty to his father, King Henry IV, or Falstaff.

Shankar Rao’s wife Rani informs him that her ring is missing, and that little issue leads to an unexpected series of events. Rani leaves the house to visit her relatives. Her absence in the house creates an opportunity for a bunch of misfits including the domestic worker Sattibabu, Shankar Rao’s boss Ganga Raju, random passers-by Ramabrahmam and his nephew Vasu, to utilise the freedom to suit their own purposes. This leads to hilarious interactions between these people who are absolute strangers to each other.

EK DURACHARI RAJA (The Story of a Despot) is Shudrka's Hindi production inspired by Albert Camus’ “Caligula”. Here in this play the motif of death is compared to resistance against contemporary despotism, holding out love of the soil and collective voice that represent people’s hopes. In spite of restraining convention and law, the innately vicious autocratic tendency among rulers exists. This enabled modern figures like Amin and Milosevic to indulge in ‘Caligula-ism’ – their dangerous whims and murderous eccentricities, and it meant that the only remedy against those who terrorized, was assassination.

Our Bengali play, “EBAR DHORMORAJYO” (Comes Now Kingdom of Justice!) is written and directed by Swapan Mondal. In the play Gandhari and Kunti of Mahabharata meet on the last day of Kurukshetra war. If there is one issue that occurs again and again in this play, it is “Dharma”. It is perhaps the most debated and yet perhaps the most compromised. The play unhinges classical interpretation of the epic, while at the same time using the incidents in the epic to enunciate moral and ethical concerns and elaborate on the meanings of “Dharma” in the current context.

EK DURACHARI RAJA (The Story of a Despot) is Shudrka's Hindi production inspired by Albert Camus’ “Caligula”. Here in this play the motif of death is compared to resistance against contemporary despotism, holding out love of the soil and collective voice that represent people’s hopes. In spite of restraining convention and law, the innately vicious autocratic tendency among rulers exists. This enabled modern figures like Amin and Milosevic to indulge in ‘Caligula-ism’ – their dangerous whims and murderous eccentricities, and it meant that the only remedy against those who terrorized, was assassination.

Our Bengali play, “EBAR DHORMORAJYO” (Comes Now Kingdom of Justice!) is written and directed by Swapan Mondal. In the play Gandhari and Kunti of Mahabharata meet on the last day of Kurukshetra war. If there is one issue that occurs again and again in this play, it is “Dharma”. It is perhaps the most debated and yet perhaps the most compromised. The play unhinges classical interpretation of the epic, while at the same time using the incidents in the epic to enunciate moral and ethical concerns and elaborate on the meanings of “Dharma” in the current context.
