They'll Love Me When I'm Dead

They'll Love Me When I'm Dead (2018) is a documentary about Orson Welles you can watch online on iFILM. It traces the saga of the master director's final project, The Other Side of the Wind — a film he shot for years and never finished in his lifetime.

Morgan Neville builds the story from archival footage, interviews and Welles' own raw takes. In the 1970s the exiled legend came back from Europe to Hollywood to make a bruising movie about an aging filmmaker, then spent the rest of his days fighting for money and a final cut. Alan Cumming narrates, while Peter Bogdanovich, who was right there, fills in the rest.

What emerges is less a making-of than a portrait of obsession, and of an industry that grinds down even its geniuses. It's for Welles devotees and for anyone curious what legends actually cost. The perfect companion to the restored Other Side of the Wind. Stream They'll Love Me When I'm Dead online on iFILM.
