📖 Synopsis

Herman J. Mankiewicz writes the screenplay for Citizen Kane in 1940 while reflecting on his relationship with media tycoon William Randolph Hearst and the golden years of Hollywood. David Fincher pays homage to classic Hollywood by shooting in black and white with impeccable formal mastery, but the film is also a portrait of writers who surrendered their ideas to directors who took all the glory. Gary Oldman portrays Mank with equal parts alcoholism and brilliance.

✍️ Our review

8.6/10 ★★★★☆

Fincher in black and white: a formal homage and critical reassessment of the Citizen Kane myth. Oldman is superb.
