Interesting

Rating: 7/10 (25 October 2015)

From the very start, this film is interesting. The dying words "rosebud" from wealthy Charles Kane start a massive search for what that means. The reporters try all film long to try and figure out what that means. What is good about this film is that the overall feel (mes-en-scene) of some of the scenes was spot on, other times not so much. As a general plot, it tells about the rise and fall of Charles Kane through flashbacks. Not that common for the time, it was actually pretty cool. At some points I did find it hard to keep my full attention on the screen, it was not always interesting. Different from anything thats been regularly shown, it is like a reverse story, starting from death and going from there. Interesting, but not for the entirety of the film.
