Citizen Kane
DramaMystery119 min
After newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane dies at his vast estate, the story of his life is pieced together through the people who knew him, tracing a child taken from his mother and handed over to a wealthy guardian before growing into one of America’s most influential media barons. Orson Welles is Kane, and Joseph Cotten appears among the friends and colleagues whose memories keep shifting the picture of who he was. Directed by Welles, the film moves through black-and-white newsrooms, mansions, and political circles as Kane’s wealth, power, and damage come into view.
