Citizen Kane (1941)


#1, undisputed

Can't sleep again. I just finished Kane and I'm speechless. I would agree that it's the greatest film ever made. In terms of technique it's unparalleled. Welles accomplished some feats which can't be outdone even by CGI. It really is an epic masterpiece. Welles himself, by the way, gives an unbelievable performance. It wasn't until I read about the film after that I realized he played the character at every age. I'm not feeling up to writing much more at the moment, maybe I'll come back to this another time. Kudos to AFI for leaving it at the top where it belongs.
