ORSON WELLES CINEMA: HIS TIMELESS TURN AS 'CITIZEN KANE'
Orson Welles 1941 rating: ***** |
But this controversial early-forties gem has not only stood the test of time but has yet to be equaled, at least not in acting, directing, and storytelling. But let's focus on one aspect, Orson Welles the actor, as the title character Charles Foster Kane, born into wealth and who makes more mistakes than money. That is, he already has the money so the mistakes come easy... and often.
Dorothy Comingore in Citizen Kane |
Not much more needs to be said Kane reviews are as abundant as feathers on a duck, or an entire flock of them, and so many are tired of that duck, those ducks, with shotguns aimed in spite and anger, but if you haven't seen KANE, or if you're avoiding the experience because everyone else has, just remember: some things are considered classic and timeless for a reason!
