Haven’t seen Citizen Kane? Oh, but you must.

Although I love The Third Man even more. It is “very Orson Welles”, but Welles is well balanced (or balanced well) by Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Trevor Howard, Graham Greene screenplay, Vienna as a main character, Carol Reed’s direction and killer zither music. Which is to say, it is *something*.

i think f for fake is my favorite orson welles maybe… which i guess is saying a lot. i’m sort of obsessed with the editing and the concept, etc. people are always going on about citizen kane or touch of evil, but i’ve never really been wowed by either.
