Kane

I revisited one of my favorite films of all time the other day, Citizen Kane. The sheer ambition and scope of the picture is unparalleled, even compared to today's film industry. Orson Welles gives the performance of his career and possibly the greatest performance of all time. One thing in particular that struck me this time around were the absolutely stunning backgrounds. The hand drawn canvases stand the test of time and rival most CGI today. All in all, the film remains an absolute must see and a brilliant example of classic American filmmaking at its most impassioned.
