Citizen Kane (1941)

1941 Citizen Kane Movie Film Cinema Poster Art Advance Teaser Theatrical

A sophisticated masterpiece and one of the world’s most famous and highly-rated films, Citizen Kane contains many extraordinary performances and scenes using cinematic and narrative techniques which were experimental and innovative at the time.

Director, star and producer Orson Welles, at a fresh-faced 25 years of age, engendered controversy with his debut film as it appeared to draw unflattering parallels with the life of William Randolph Hearst, a powerful newspaper magnate and publisher. Hearst tried to suppress the film’s distribution through intimidation, blackmail, newspaper smears, discrediting and the encouragement of FBI investigations.

A must-see education in cinematic history. And a wonderfully entertaining film at that!
