Review

Orson Welles’s seminal film about the rise of a newspaper tycoon.

Decide for yourself: Citizen Kane will never cease to dazzle, but according to the Sight & Sound once-a-decade critics’ poll, it’s now only the second-greatest film ever made. Next week you can see the new No. 1, Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.
