We saw Mank yesterday. It is the back story of how the screen-play for Citizen Kane got written. It was historically dense, with Louis B. Mayer, Upton Sinclair, William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies, and Orson Welles being discussed. As cinema, it was a bit disappointing, due to that heavy didactic character. We were talking about how someone unfamiliar with the history of that period would be pretty much lost.
