Film 3 'Citizen Kane' IMDB No. 37

1941 another black and white classic


This film has cinematography that has been reproduced thousands of times, camera angles, moody lighting, the lot. This is the life of a millionaire tycoon told by others after his death to a reporter trying to find out the meaning of his last words 'rosebud'. You have to wait until the end to find out.
For me, it's a bit boring, I'm sure if you saw it in 1941 and it was the first time you'd seen a scene shot from low down it might be less so.
6/10
