Gary Oldman plays Herman Mankiewicz’s, the scribe behind Citizen Kane, in Netfl ix’s Mank.
Fincher pulls back curtain
on creation of iconic fi lm
By TJ REID
For the Keizertimes
A long time ago, while perusing an online
message board dedicated to discussing cine-
ma, I came across a casual discussion of what
differentiates a “movie” from a “fi lm,” and that
conversation has stuck with me. One poster
posited that a movie is any type of moving pic-
ture whereas a fi lm is a movie that has deeper
artistic merit and cultural signifi cance.
All fi lms are movies, but not all movies are
fi lms, in other words. This differentiation might
come off as silly (not to mention snobbish), as
the two words are synonyms in almost every
way that matters. But to call certain popcorn
fl icks “fi lms” doesn’t feel right to me, even if
I happen to adore them as
movies. I review a lot of
movies, but it is rare that
I get to review a fi lm. The
beautifully shot, scored, and
acted Mank is, undoubtedly,
a fi lm; although it is also one that struggled to
keep my attention.
The story of screenwriter Herman
Mankiewicz and his writing of the iconic Cit-
izen Kane, Mank feels like a newly unearthed
artifact from the past. Shot in black and white
(complete with occasional simulated fl aws
in the physical fi lm) with monoaural sound
(meaning that everything was recorded on one
track, as was the way up until the mid-20th
century) and scored by a large, classical band
(playing music written by Trent Reznor of
Nine Inch Nails, of all people), Mank will make
you feel like you have been transported to the
golden age of Hollywood. Gary Oldman, a
phenomenal actor known for completely en-
veloping himself in his roles, is in rare form as
the brilliant Mankiewicz himself, and his sup-
porting cast, particularly Amanda Seyfried as
Marion Davies, is incredible as well. The script
fully captures the wit that Mankiewicz was
known for with snappy dialogue, and the clever
non-sequential storytelling (something Citizen
Kane is also noted for) is easy to follow through-
out thanks to creative transitions that simulate
a script being written in real-time. There’s also
the fact that the movie just looks great; one
piece of feedback I heard before watching was
that you could take any screenshot of the fi lm
and frame it on your wall, and this turned out
to not be an exaggeration. The cinematography
in Mank, like everything else, is stunning.
The only problem is that I oc-
casionally found it diffi cult to care
about the subject matter being
portrayed. Mank is a movie about
making movies and is full of studio
politicking and, occasionally, actu-
al politicking. More often than not, I found
the subtleties and fi ner points of the discussions
presented going over my head, causing me to
lose interest. It is a fantastically made fi lm, but
it has a hard time being an entertaining one.
I’m not asking for a random shoot-out with
unexplained and anachronistic cowboys to
be thrown in or anything like that ... There is
nothing this movie could have done to make
the subject more interesting to me, because the
baseline premise did not capture my enthusi-
asm. But if you have a love for fi lm, the steps
that go into making them, and the fl awed char-
acters behind them, do not let this beauty pass
you by.
Mank is now available on Netfl ix.
