Genius

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 1998)

Orson Welles co-wrote, directed, and starred in what would become known as the greatest motion picture to ever grace the silver screen. If not for the intriguing storyline, then for the shear genius of it all, it lives up to this title. This film is credited with inspiring more directoral careers than any other in motion picture history, and Orson Welles brilliant direction, with his use of shadows and deep focus lenses, revolutionized the motion picture industry. And at the center of this all, Welles still manages to deliver a timeless tale of how the man who had "everything" was brought happiness by the simplest of things.
