Newspaper magnate, Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

So visually layered and masterful. Of course the acting in here is much presentational given the time of release. Can't believe this is a directorial debut.
