Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2014)

Citizen Kane is truly a masterpiece in American cinema. Orson Wells artistic abilities and beautiful cinematography have made Citizen Kane a very successful and critically acclaimed film. The acting is terrific and the and the suspense building up in the film was fantastic. The lighting was dramatic without being too over the top. Its very interesting how Wells uses low camera angles to make the central characters seem absurdly tall, this is a very successful technique. The ending was outstanding and very satisfying. Who knew that so much suspense could lead up to a single word uttered by a dying man. Overall a very good movie even 73 years later.
