Citizen Kane is often cited as being one of the most innovative works in the history of film.
On its film canonical value, Sight & Sound editor Nick James commented in 2002 that Kane is now 'established as cinema's Shakespeare', indicating a weariness of older films. Jason Solomons remarks that older films are compared to the literary canon, a list of books you have to have read to be able to discuss film knowledgeably. In a further soundbite Solmons compares La Règle du jeu is compared to Flaubert, Vertigo to D. H. Lawrence Murnau's Sunrise to Beowulf.
