which is &#8220;all fascinating stuff, but you may need four or five cups of strong coffee to make it to the end&#8221; &#8212; and even by &#8220;then you may be hopelessly confused.&#8221; I&#8217;ll agree that the film feels a bit over-long, and could probably be reduced by half an hour or so (though that would mess with the integrity of the storyline even more than Welles already did) &#8212;
