Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2019)

Citizen Kane is far and away the most cinematically surprising and exciting motion picture to be ever made in Hollywood.
The script delivers an intelligent mediation on the corrupting nature of power and the souring of the American Dream whilst Welles' performance is nothing less than astonishing.
Many of the novel techniques Welles developed with cinematographer Toland are calculated to offer new angles on film space.
Citizen Kane can be classified as, in a number of aspects, one of the most arresting pictures ever produced.
