My Rating: 10/10
Citizen Kane is made in the 1940s but it is still very new and modern when viewed today. The film have some breathtaking visuals and the camara work is very impressive. This film is considered to be one of the greatest ever made and is now currently at No.1 in the AFI's Greatest Films list. The black and white cinematography is a pleasure to watch.
