One of the most known movies of all time, Citizen Kane by Orson Welles is just a flawless piece of movie making. The cinematography is what makes this film the classic that it is. Orson Welles is known for his unorthodox camera work. Welles manipulates the space on screen in this movie in a beautiful and hypnotizing way. Low angle shots are prevalent in the film, providing a unique spatial effect. Orson Welles used the zoom a lot in Citizen Kane.
The story is a flashback of Charles Foster Kane, a millionaire businessman. The movie chronicles his life, and the events that lead to his fall.
