Jordan's Comment: "This is what the JRFF is all about: watching what may be the greatest movie of all time AT THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING! Seriously, this movie is brilliant. The lighting techniques are 40 years ahead of their time, resulting in a movie that uses the beauty of black-and-white photography to its fullest. The plot is quite good too - a thinly disguised biopic of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, right down to the lonely mansion and the naming of a prize possesion 'Rosebud.'
I'll be watching Citizen Kane at 3 AM, and you should too."
Trivia: Join Jordan and festival co-host Bobby Daly for a game of "Citizen Kane: The Drinking Game." Rules coming soon!
