Desert Island DVD #1

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2006)

Citizen Kane What a superb film. Everything in this film is perfection down to a tee, and it is shot SO well for it's time (I would say it's about forty years before it's time). Evidence of this is through the camera angles as they pan around, then up and into buildings. It is directed brilliantly by Orson Welles, who's presence really oozes out of the screen (and he plays the eldest Kane so well, that you cannot think of anything that would improve it). A beautiful sound track, a script so sharp that it's thick satire and irony is not lost and a good supporting cast really do mean this film is an essential classic, everyone should see.
I give this film five potatoes out of a possible five potatoes.
