Dejected and deflated, his ghostly pallor is reflected infinite times, appearing to get smaller and smaller as he shrinks into the void. This is a fitting image, because Kane is itself a hall of mirrors, one that unintentionally reflected the future downfall of its most boisterous creators. David Fincher s Citizen Kane origin story, detailing the real-life social and political turmoil that inspired the film s ripped-from-the-headlines themes.
