The story goes as follows: Richard (Efron) is a bored schoolboy who miraculously talks his way into getting a bit part in an Orson Welles (Christian McKay) production of Caesar, at which point he is quickly shafted to the responsibility of Sonja (Claire Danes). Richard is clumsy, bouncing from one mishap (theatre sprinklers) to another (losing props), and is played well enough by Zac Efron that I forgot this was one of Disney's Golden Boys who are To Pretty to Be by definition, and enjoyed Zac Efron, the actor. Sonja answers phone calls, annotates novels and, driven by the ambition to actually get a paycheck for the work she does, goes on multiple dates with the men of the company - but strictly to get ahead, as she is the Only Sane (wo)Man in the movie.
And then there is Orson Welles. When he is on screen the film is interesting, engaging, and had me gnawing on my lip in anticipation, when he isn't it does lull a bit, but that could just be my perspective. Orson Welles has been called a prodigy, an egomaniac, a genius, a failure. Fistfuls of adjectives float around his name like clouds that could either lead to heaven's gates or burst and release buckets of water. He was just a man really, and Christian McKay plays him as such - a brilliant, artistic, charismatic man who could be immature, vain, amusing, terrifying and constantly at odds with someone or something.
Associates include Eddie Marsan as John Houseman, James Tupper as Joseph Cotten, Leo Bill as Norman Lloyd, and Ben Chaplin as George Coulouris as members of the Mercury Theatre.
This isn't historically accurate, it isn't a flawless film, and if you are looking for problems you will probably find one - but it is a great movie (great enough to snag a 4 star review from Roger Ebert), which provides a great performance by the man playing The Great Man.
Like "A Midwinter's Tale" (not yet on DVD), "Stage Beauty" and, of course, "Shakespeare in Love," the film alternates between Shakespearean scenes and the the lives of the actors involved. We see frequent brief recreations of Welles' "Caesar"---and the DVD's "Special Features" provide even more.
Despite its arcane subject, the film is made highly accessible by being told from the point of view of a teenager almost accidentally recruited to play a very minor part in the staging. Zac Efron is perfectly cast here---not just for the very incidental singing and dancing required, but for his wide-eyed initial response to the new world he inhabits and his growing disillusion. He's back in the conflict between real life and stage life (not to mention school and after-school) that dominated the "High School Musical" films, but this time American cultural history is on the line. And Efron's ready for the step up.
No longer a guileless Juliet, Claire Danes skillfully embodies the mixture of sweetness and icy ambition that troubles Efron, and the supporting cast is adept at playing young stage actors who later developed into major screen personalities. Director Richard Linklater not only elicits uniformly vivid performances but presides over an enticing evocation of New York City in the 1930s. This film is very easy to love.
Anyone interested in more about Welles' "Caesar" should look in libraries and rare record marts for the Mercury Theater performance issued by Columbia Records (EL-52 on LP, two discs). In "Me and Orson Welles," Welles plays Brutus and George Coulouris is Antony. That casting is reversed on the recording.
Welles and his actor colleagues may create Art with a capital "A," but at what price? Luckily for Richard, he escapes this house-of-mirrors world and finds the beginnings of true happiness with a modest girl he meets in a music shop. The message, to me, is that the meek shall inherit the earth.
Although the poster makes ME AND ORSON WELLES out to be a tribute to Welles and the magic of performing, it is a much darker story than that. Welles and the theater are not heroes at all in this telling. This movie is much deeper than I expected, with a solid moral core, and fine performances all around - including Zac Efrem and Zoe Kazan as the two young innocents and, of course, Christian McKay's stunning recreation of Welles. Highly recommended.
While McKay's portrayal of Welles is uncanny, my advice is to skip the film entirely and proceed to the Special Features section to see the twelve-minute recreation of Welles's famous "Julius Caesar." Excepting the fact that the make-up is not redolent of the theatre of the time, the recreation is a marvel. What a thrilling production it must have been, with beautiful chiaroscuro and echoes of the fascism then menacing in Europe. One wishes the film's producers had used the fortune spent on the movie, with its ridiculous romance between the characters of Danes and Efron, and simply filmed a recreation of the entire, historic "Julius Caesar."
We see here what might have been, if Welles had returned to the theatre instead of continuing in the cinema following his early masterpieces, where so much of his energy was spent in questionable film and television work.
