Description

In the most dazzling debut feature in cinema history, twenty-five-year-old writer-producer-director-star Orson Welles synthesized the possibilities of sound-era filmmaking into what could be called the first truly modern movie. In telling the story of the meteoric rise and precipitous fall of a William Randolph Hearst–like newspaper magnate named Charles Foster Kane, Welles not only created the definitive portrait of American megalomania, he also unleashed a torrent of stylistic innovations—from the jigsaw-puzzle narrative structure to the stunning deep-focus camera work of Gregg Toland—that have ensured that Citizen Kane remains fresh and galvanizing for every new generation of moviegoers to encounter it. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY COMBO PACK SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack 4-DISC EDITION includes one 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and three Blu-rays with the film and special features Three audio commentaries: from 2021 featuring Orson Welles scholars James Naremore and Jonathan Rosenbaum; from 2002 featuring filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich; and from 2002 featuring film critic Roger Ebert The Complete “Citizen Kane” (1991), a rarely seen feature-length BBC documentary New interviews with critic Farran Smith Nehme and film scholar Racquel J.
