Tough week for âCitizen Kaneâ! Letâs hope its reputation can survive it. On Sundayâs lowest-rated Academy Awards ceremony ever, âMankâ â director David Fincherâs Netflix project about Herman J. Mankiewicz, the primary textual author of director, star and credited co-writer Orson Wellesâs 1941 debut feature â won two Oscars. Thatâs double the number âCitizen Kaneâ won. (Mankiewicz and Welles shared the original screenplay award.) Then, on Tuesday, word got out on Twitter about a cruel but honest adjustment made early last month to the hallowed 100% âfreshâ score attached to âCitizen Kaneâ on the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes.
