Production
Design:
Mank
by David Fincher
A tribute on Netflix to Herman J. Mankiewicz who was the author of
Citizen Kane
.
In 1940, Orson Welles had locked the writer on a remote ranch, far from all temptation.
This Mank, played by Gary Oldman, had his leg in a cast.
And two months to return the script.
The studios are run by cynics, cut the salaries of its employees, order fake news.
A film imbued with nostalgia, curls of cigarettes and the scent of alcohol.
