- A new film from director David Fincher ("The Social Network") shines a light (in black-and-white) on the Golden Age Hollywood studio system, as screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz struggles to complete the screenplay for Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane." Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz (the grandson of Herman) talks with Fincher, and with actresses Amanda Seyfried and Lily Collins, about the story behind the making of a masterwork.

David Fincher is one the best filmmakers of this generation. Brilliant director.
Gonna stop you there Raul...THE best of his generation.
*FACTS*
Zodiac should be registered with the National Film Library of Congress.
Saw mank yesterday, was easily my favorite film of 2020 and my favorite fincher movie since the social network
I love it but it is not a real mainstream film and if it was in theatres it would not have made money.
I would loved to have seen it in a theatre if it was shot on 35mm film and played in 35mm film.
Nice talk.
I wish that was longer
That's what she said.
Ben left out that his great uncle is director Joseph L. Mankiewicz .....who basically is a Hollywood legend too.
Also a Communist

Both Communists and Fascists' are socialists and they both have one thing in common they have murdered nearly 200 million people.
My last name is Mank! Can't wait to see my name everywhere, but more importantly, this great movie!
Citizen Kane is my all time favourite
I don't care how close this movie is to reality. It's great movie and a great story. Hollywood at it finest. Go see it if you can on the big screen.
I've had a crush on Amanda Seyfried since Mean Girls. Can't wait to see her win her first Oscar from this movie..
Just saw the film today loved it hope Fincher finally wins an oscar
I came here to see what Ben felt about the movie. ❤️😊
Really liked seeing the early footage of Hearst's girl Marion Davies in her movies. Gable and her looked marvelous.
This movie was over the top good!
Most people who don't recognize or appreciate a film like "Citizen Kane" or other b&w classics is they have no appreciation or concept for individual shot composition, expressionistic moody lighting & cinematography, plot development, symbols and twists, or a non-linear narrative. Just give them a good ol' cowboys and Indians flick lol of which many are great entertainments also
Thank you Mr. Fincher. The caped, enigmatic, mysterious, charlatan, mastermind, Orson, enters with all the flair of Dracula, Darth Vader, and himself.
Amazing!
I found _Mank_ to be very entertaining, beautifully filmed, with more than its fair share of witty, fast-paced dialogue, some of which is inside stuff that will leave many modern viewers scratching their heads. Amanda Seyfried, an actress I'd never heard of, is especially compelling as Marion Davies. People should understand Fincher has made an entertainment, though, not a documentary - just as Welles did with _Citizen Kane,_ by the way. Take it as a wonderful character study and period piece, but don't take it as gospel.
By the way - I just watched _Mank_ on Netflix last night (on my Roku). I never did any searches on the film or its subjects on my computer. How did CZcams know to recommend a couple of videos about it today? This is not the first time I've noticed this - I watch something on Netflix, and soon after CZcams promotes videos about it.
Gary Oldman is a good actor.
Great
Understatement of the decade
Mark Jones is perceptive
@Gaia Barone thats a bit rude see how you get treated when you get older
Mank was amazing.
Rosebud
Grandpa Fincher is one of the horseman of the apocalypse
Orson co-wrote Citizen Kane
Fact: rosebud was a cheat code in early Sims games. It would give you like $1000 dollars each time you typed it in
Fincher must win his Oscar!!!
Someone please explain how any film can be determined the single greatest ever.
I need season 3 of mindhunter
It's my last name, and not short for anything. Oh, it's Slovakian.I have yet to see it!

Schreiber’s Welles was not bad but I think Vince Vaughn could have been his doppelgänger
Wish it was a windy day during Seyfried’s interview.
I LOVE Fincher; however, please know he wished to bring his father's screenplay to life. His father based the story on Pauline Kael's bulls*** article filled with lies & info she solicited without giving credit!
Pauline Horrible Kael made the world think that Welles did Jack crap with the script. It's beyond insulting. The best parts of Kane's character (the parts unlike Hearst) were fleshed out of Welles's contributions and edits.
President Trump said this is his favorite movie 🎥
geez, the first 10 seconds of this gave away the end of Citizen Kane. what the...
I know, right?
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Long live W.R. Hearst!
Greatest film ever? No. Charlie Chaplin films were better. My choice, “The Great Dictator” A very gutsy movie subject that the studios wouldn’t touch. Cowards all.👀👈
I disagree. Chaplain was certainly an influential filmmaker during his time, but I wouldn't say any of his films were "great." He overloaded them (like _The Great Dictator_ ) with pathos the way I slather whipped cream on my pumpkin pie, and his humor has not aged well (the way, say, Buster Keaton's and Laurel & Hardy's have). His body of work is important to movie history, but he didn't make any movie that approaches _Citizen Kane_ for "greatness."
Chaplin was a genius, no doubt about it. Although I love all his films, my personal favorite would have to be “City Lights”. I think it’s probably the greatest film ever made about love. “Modern Times” and “The Great Dictator” follow close behind.
Incidentally, Orson Welles received a “story by” credit in Chaplin’s black comedy “Monsieur Verdoux”, another Chaplin masterpiece that is often overlooked.
The "Mank" movie is 2 plus hours of boring dialog and black and white photography.
Stick to your WWE crap and Michael Bay trash.
@Nicho Stark
It was a fascinating movie and not even close to being boring.
Thanks for ruining the movie (“Citizen Kane” not “Mank”) for me. My teacher had told me to wait until college to watch it and would not tell us the big surprise of the movie no matter how much we begged. Well, that big surprise is over. A million shots from the movie you could have shown in the first 15 seconds of this story and you use a shot that gives away the McGuffin. Jerks.
Sorry about that. You know Rosebud's not really a sled.
You should also know that the McGuffin of the movie, doesn’t matter in the movie. Knowing the “spoiler” of CITIZEN KANE doesn’t ruin the movie.
It doesn't ruin the movie, ROSEBUD is not really what the movie is about, at all.
😂😂😂
Grow up.
