Citizen Kane

"When they say that 'Citizen Kane' is the best movie ever made, the critics are not exaggerating. Sure, you may turn up your nose at it being an old black and white movie - and for many, a classic cult film is synonymous with "boring". But none of that applies to this masterpiece by Orson Welles. In his first feature film, the communicator and filmmaker (who, in addition to directing, also stars in the production) imprints a story with a modern rhythm and a flawless cinematographic language, in an investigation of the life of the titular character that involves the spectator. Credit also goes to screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (in the story told in the Netflix movie 'Mank'), who was inspired by William Randolph Hearst to create a story of intrigue, politics, success and failure that goes to the heart of post-1929 America. No wonder 'Citizen Kane' is still referenced today, whether in series or comedy productions: it's the go-to movie for any cinephile."
