Review of Citizen Kane (1941) by Terry D — 25 Apr 2017

Then boy-genius Orson Welles's first feature length motion picture (which he co-wrote, played the title role in, and directed) is a masterpiece of pioneering technical virtuosity -- a veritable 'Rosetta Stone of modern filmmaking' -- and it's still (and shall almost certainly remain) timelessly entertaining.

So many great scenes and sequences -- the newsreel montage about Kane's life, Bernstein's (Everett Sloane) touching personal revelation about an innocuous moment from his life that he has never forgotten, a montage of Susan Alexander's (Dorothy Comingore) brief opera career, and on and on.

..and on. A solid mainstay in my Top 10 favourite films of all-time.
