One of the many wonders of Welles’ magisterial exploration of the life and times of a media tycoon is Gregg Toland’s innovative, versatile camerawork: evoking the scale of a bustling newspaper office or a vast echoing mansion with mirrors, shadows and strange angles; recreating the look of old newsreel; suggesting the world may be the product of a dying man’s reminiscence.
