Orson Welles' genius masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2007)

Orson Wells was 25 when he made this picture which shows he matured early. The story is about a publishing tycoon who lives a great and rich life only to be torn down by scandal while running for political office. He lived in a mansion called Xanadu which has many vast treasures and expensive furniture. When he dies, reporters want to find out what he meant by his dying last word "Rosebud". A great story and directed to steely perfection by wells. If you are in the mood to see a film that is different than any other film imaginable then look no further than Citizen Kane. I don't know if this is the greatest film of all time as AFI has posted but it comes close.
