What is "Rosebud"? That is what a news reporter is in search for, but all he finds is more questions about "Charles Foster Kane" (Orson Welles), who uttered that now-famous word just before he died.
"Citizen Kane" is possibly the greatest movie when it comes to cinematography. It uses unusual angles, shadows and long shots wonderfully. The way audio and editing is also what makes this movie standout from others.
The acting was just as good as the cinematography. It is Welles performance that stands out the most. The other actors also do an outstanding job, but none are as good as Welles.
If you are into old movies, this is one of the "Must See" movies. It is also worth checking out if you ever come across it at your local rental place.
