Citizen-kane About
Citizen Kane

B-movie deity Ed Wood adored this film, and I can absolutely see why. It feels (in the best possible way) to be a b-movie, in feel, as in like Ivan The Terrible, or Apocalypse Now, it embodies the rush of excitement in boyhood fantasies of the movies, so grand and indulgent and exciting. Every sequence is so alive with pure energy, like the best b-movies are. '....AN EMPIRE UPON AN EMPIRE!...FORESTS, OCEAN LINERS!'

    not to mention the opening sequence and the many similar in tone throughout the film. This and The Trial are among the most brilliant uses of black and white in film! and yes, this film demands hyperbole in review :}
