    In his film debut, the 25-year-old Orson Welles created an enduring masterpiece in Citizen Kane, an innovative, cinematic character study. The story unfolds in flashbacks as a reporter researches the life of the wealthy and powerful newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane.

    Recently Viewed 

    Citizen Kane is widely hailed as the "great American film" -- and with good reason. From its complex and dazzling narrative structure to cinematographer Gregg Toland's pioneering deep-focus photography to its incredibly rich use of sound, Orson Welles's 1941 picture remains one of the most innovative movies ever to come out of a Hollywood studio. Not bad for a 26-year-old upstart who had never directed a single film. Unfolding almost entirely in flashback, Welles's masterpiece presents various perspectives on the outsized life of the just-deceased Charles Foster Kane, a charismatic newspaper magnate bearing more than a passing resemblance to William Randolph Hearst. (Writers at the Hearst papers waged a campaign in print to have Citizen Kane banned.) Through the reminiscences of friends, family, and coworkers, the film moves from Kane's childhood to his rambunctious adolescence, from the heights of his success to the depths of his isolation -- all the while searching for a clue to Kane's mysterious last word: "Rosebud." The enigmatic phrase drives the tale, but ultimately it is only a means of exploring the film's real theme: the impossibility of truly understanding the heart and mind of any human being. No less a figure than Jorge Luis Borges hailed Kane's "labyrinth without a center" structure. The 60th anniversary DVD edition digs deeper into the Hearst-Welles bond with the addition of a commentary track by Welles acolyte Peter Bogdanovich.
