From the Paper:

"Orson Wells' 1941 masterpiece Citizen Kane is regarded as one of the finest movies since the beginning of American cinema. Like anything that is considered "great" this film has stood well against the test of time. In Citizen Kane the validity and importance of the story is almost secondary to the methods employed to tell that story. Wells, the consummate performer, utilized all of his experience stage acting and directing experience in Kane. Many of the techniques had never been used in such a manner or to the extent that Wells did. All story elements aside, Citizen Kane ushered in a new period in American Film and would inspire the film-makers not only of the generation when it premiered but film-makers even today."
