"The best way to deal with Orson Welles today is to tell us things that we don’t already know, including what we don’t know about American history. As his title succinctly tells us, Danny Wu’s American performs that agenda beautifully and provocatively, inviting us to rethink our
own legacy as Americans as well as the legacy of Welles’ work in the 1940s. It's a hair-raising story."
