Amazing cinematography, brilliant acting, PERFECT screenplay...but the Best Movie Ever Made??  I don't quite agree with that, but I can completely understand why it is usually chosen as such.  The legend about Orson Welles, only in his mid-20s, having carte-blanche from his studio, came up with this Masterpiece.It is interesting that a movie without sex or violence, about a media mogul and his life, can hold such interest.  The flashback nature of the screenplay is its brilliance, and I'd be pressed to find a better photographed film, EVER.  I get it.  I finally get the hooplah over CITIZEN KANE.
