The folks at
Cinemaminima pointed to this
fascinating clip on
Errol Morris's website. It's from one of Morris's "aborted projects," series or films that for whatever reason didn't make it off the ground. In the Quicktime stream, Donald Trump discusses Orson Welles's
Citizen Kane, riffing on the lessons the film has to impart on wealth, accumulation and happiness. As Morris does, Trump becomes a poignant, contradictory and very human ambassador from the director's now readily identifiable universe of oddball dreamers and schemers. Check out the clip for some fascinating viewing, and click back to the page in the future. Morris will soon post a clip of Mikhail Gorbachev discussing Tarkovsky's
The Mirror and Kubrick's
Dr. Strangelove!
