A true masterpiece. A real lesson to every cinematographer

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2016)

Orson Welle's Citizen Kane is one of the best films ever made. The state-of-the-art techniques and the clever plot make this film unforgettable, even though the narrative has some flaws with its pace. For us, Rosebud is the name of the sleigh with which Kane hit Thatcher when he was little. It's a name of change, a very important name in his life. It dies with Kane because it is actually him. For Thompson, Rosebud will be another piece of a jigsaw puzzle he could never find. But the viewer is redeemed through all the things they learnt from Kanes life all these years. And as the final scene shows us with the flaming Rosebud, life goes on.
