"MANK opens the doors to Xanadu for all who love the movies. A true work of art from all angles, this majestic look back at the making of CITIZEN KANE challenges black and white assumptions about art and authorship, creativity and collaboration. David Fincher is today's titan who takes on this telling of titans past – Orson Welles, William Randolph Hearst and a deep focus on Gary Oldman's monumental turn as Herman J. Mankiewicz. This glamorous, glorious trip back in time to Hollywood past is pure movie magic about movie magic." -The American Film Institute.
