Claiming that he doesn't know his own past, a rich man enlists an ex-con with an odd bit of detective work. Gregory Arkadin says he can't remember anything before the late 1920s, and convict Guy Van Stratten is happy to take the job of exploring his new acquaintance's life story. Guy's research turns up stunning details about his employer's past, and as his work seems linked to untimely deaths, the mystery surrounding Mr. Arkadin deepens.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This fractured Citizen Kane, built of frames within frames and mirrors within mirrors, is aptly brought to life by Welles's later style, born of low budgets and high anxiety, its grotesque closeups and cocked angles suggesting worlds and minds askew.

rotten:
Engaging meller it may be, but missing the incisive delineation that marked Kane.

Failure or not, it's irresistible.

fresh:
For all of the film's perversity, there is greatness in it -- a greatness harshly criticizing itself.

fresh:
A film, which, for all its strangeness, is seldom less than brilliant.
