All hail Toland

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2019)

Breathtaking. What Welles and Toland collaborated to create is a stunning masterpiece that deserves to be watched as a study in magnificence alone. Though the plot itself left much to be desired, and the movie seemed to drag on so much longer than it actually lasted, the camerawork is fantastic. The things they pulled off with light and shadow, their incredible use of flashback, and the ingenious editing throughout make this movie an absolute treasure.
