Citizen Kane (1941)

I re-watched Citizen Kane. This time, I didn't sleep through half the film. Actually, this Orson Welles classic almost lives up to its reputation. A more observant viewer would perhaps be able to see more depth in it than I managed to do. My expectations of the film were not let down, except for one aspect: I didn't know it was so melancholy film. Cynical - yes. But not melancholy. Maybe that is the flip-side of cynicism, teary images of a castle filled with expensive garbage.
