From the Venice Film Festival, one reporter's thoughts.....

Oh yeah, Vincent d'Onofrio was here too, in the short features section, presenting a 30-minute movie in which he also stars in the one role he probably can't escape. Five Minutes, Mr. Welles is a fictional story of how Orson wrote his dialogue for the ferris wheel in The Third Man; and while it will amuse film buffs, it's really not much more than a glorified single-act play, competently done. So, um, you know. Don't be surprised if it too ends up being nominated for an Oscar...
