Film Noir
is a cinematographic movement that developed in the States
during and after World War II and which betrays the deep
trauma left by the horrors of the war on some people. Film
noirs are usually infused with a profound cynism, a disgust of humanity
and its corruption. Visually, they often use unusual techniques,
dark images, tight framing etc. to create strong effects of
fear, suffocation and despair. |

You must see
this film at least twice to appreciate all its intricate
details and visual effects. The final scenes in the mansion are amazing. Welles
filmed them in a way that emphasises Kane's loneliness by contrasting the
hugeness of his aberrently luxurious empty mansion, "the costliest monument a man has ever built to oneself",
to his small figure. |
