Surely a classic, and a film that everyone should watch at least three times in their lives. Orsen Welles is in top form as both an actor and director, and "Citizen Kane" is one of the only films where Welles had complete artistic control over the direction and editing of the film itself.
Fantastic cinema and surely one of the most influential films of all time!
Next up, "Mr. Arkadin." While "Mr. Arkadin" is comprised of very similar themes as "Citizen Kane," "Mr. Arkadin" was a film that was taken away from Welles after being filmed and was butchered by the studio. However, the film illustrates Welles' amazing technique as a director, and while the film is 55 years old it holds up very well and doesn't seem too dated.
Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to view this amazing film again this weekend!
Signing off.
