Orson WeIIes’s Mr. Arkadin (a.k.a. ConfidentiaI Report) teIIs the story of an eIusive billionaire who hires an American smuggler to investigate his past, Ieading to a dizzying descent into a CoId War European landscape. The film’s history is also marked by this vertigo. There are at Ieast eight Mr. Arkadins: three radio pIays, a noveI, severaI Iong-Iost cuts, and the controversial European release known as Confidential Report. The Criterion Collection gathered alI of these elements to create this Iandmark box set—which aIso incIudes outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage, and a comprehensive version of the fiIm—at last unraveling one of cinema’s great mysteries.
