Ed Wood / USA / 1994

At once, this film derides the career of its subject and esteems it at the same time. This dynamic is best exhibited in a late scene in which Ed Wood, having stormed off the set of what would become Plan 9 From Outer Space because of the interference of his Baptist producers, approaches Orson Welles in a bar. The men share a particular ambition, one sharpened by the prohibition of the Hollywood system. That this scene occurs with Wood in drag is a gesture of both derision and humility.
