  Citizen X 1995

  ★★ Watched 22 Dec 2023

  Citizen X could be a very solid and a somewhat less superficial serial killer film if it was not focused most of the time on getting it's political message across through cheap anti-communism and cheap, one-dimensional caricatures that are not believable by any means.

Yes you've read right, a two time Oscar best picture winner and two time Palme D'Or winning director is underrated. The artist that has created what is possibly the most widely loved film series of all times ( talking about the…
