Citizen Kane

By Adam Suraf on September 18, 2011
Like ‘Sgt. Pepper’s’, “The Great Gatsby”, “The Simpsons”, and the 1927 New York Yankees, there’s “Citizen Kane”, and there’s everything else. 25-year-old Orson Welles stormed Hollywood from Broadway with a new kind of cinematic vision, experimenting with narrative, lighting, cinematography, performance, make-up, and ambition not seen since before (or since), and his film is as much an enigma as the man (and his Charles Foster Kane) himself. Simply put, this remains the most fascinating film to watch, er, behold, in perpetual wonder.
