Negative Positive
Title: Can't argue with perfection.
Review: This Fictional Account of the life of Charles Foster Cain (Really William Randolph Hearst...but I digress) is atop every critics list for a very good reason...It was duely earned!This film is nothing short of a masterpiece in terms of casting (Ruth Warrick brings a powerful edge in the most subtle performance you will ever see!), lighting, camerawork, writing...you name it and it's got an element of filmmaking that is the benchmark of greatness.What's even more astounding is realizing that Welles was 25 when he made this! How someone could convey so many tacit aspects of a larger than life character and keep him real without making him a cartoonish buffoon is an amazing feat when you think of the life experience you need to live for the kind of perspective necessary to avoid a very easy pitfall such as that.This DVD should be a staple to any self-respecting DVD collector...it can't possible disappoint you.
