Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2015)

Lets face it: they had us at "Rosebud." Citizen Kane begins simply enough with an overview of the complicated life of Charles Foster Kane. As the movie progresses the viewers are join the shadow-faced reporter, Thompson and go more in depth into Kane's life through multiple interviews, trying to find the hidden meaning or message of Kane's last words, Rosebud. This great film brings together good acting and believable conversations. With an exciting story and many characters to follow as more and more things get complex in hi life. This film is wonderfully filmed. The high point to me is the character of Thompson. You, the viewer, rarely see his face fully, whether he has his back o the audience or because the light is barely shown on his face, leaving it covered in shadows.
