Citizen Kane (1941)

Posted on 08:32 by john cena
Feature Film | Drama | USA | English | 1h59m
Dir: Orson Welles | Scr: Herman J. Mankiewicz & Orson Welles | Ph: Gregg Toland | Prod: Orson Welles | Mus: Bernard Herrmann | Ed: Robert Wise | AD: Van Nest Polglase | Snd: John Aalberg | Sfx: Vernon L. Walker | Cast: Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Dorothy Comingore, Agnes Moorehead, Ruth Warrick, Ray Collins, Erskine Sanford, Everett Sloane, George Coulouris 

Welles’s brilliant and vibrant fictional biopic, depicting the life of a newspaper magnate from childhood to death, concentrating on his fruitless quest to fill the gap left by the maternal love that he was denied as a child, is a film that just about deserves its lofty reputation. With gorgeous photography, magnificent mise en scène, peerless production values, and several excellent performances (not the least of which coming from the incredible Comingore), Citizen Kane comes as close to capturing a man’s entire life on celluloid as any film ever has.
