Me and Orson Welles (2009)

Wonderful movie about a (fictional) high school senior (Zac Efron) who falls in with Welles' Mercury theater on the eve of their legendary production of Julius Caesar. Zac Efron is a little glassy, but still better than expected. The real show here are the impersonations of the real life Mercury players: Ben Chaplin as George Colouris, Leo Bill as Norman Lloyd, and Christian McKay as Welles are particularly excellent and totally uncanny. A perfect depiction of the creative process (and the egos of creative people) to the point where I had a lump in my throat when the curtain rose on opening night. A vivid recreation of a time when artists mattered and the staging of a play could change the world.
