One of the greatest films ever made

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2006)

I am sure that many would agree that Citizen Kane is one of the greatest films ever made. Unlike the films of its day, Citizen Kane is shot magnificently- the cinematography is far superior than most films both nowadays and in the the past. This film was the one and only film that deserved an Oscar sweep in 1941, too bad. A strong performance by Orson Welles, a great story, and simply put- a masterpiece, make this the greatest film ever made. No wonder it is taught in film schools throughout the world. Roger Ebert stated that if there was one movie he could watch deserted on an island for hundreds of days, it would be Citizen Kane. 10/10 Excellent.
