Movie Reviews of Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: Not the greatest film ever--but still a good movie
Summary: 4 Stars
Following the death of media mogul Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles), a reporter (Joseph Cotten) is tasked with investigating the significance of Kane's final word: "Rosebud." It is impossible to merely enjoy this film because of its reputation as the greatest ever made. I felt like I was forced to react to this exalted status. Well, I have to conclude that it is probably impossible to single out any movie as the best, but if I had to it wouldn't be "Citizen Kane."
This is not to say that I thought it was a bad movie at all. However, Welles's innovative use of the camera, which causes so many to regard it so highly, was so relentless that I was frequently pulled out of the story to consider the artifice of it, making it feel rather cold and technical. I found the story involving, even though I couldn't really connect with the characters, and would still recommend it.
Summary of Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)
The story of an immensely wealthy newspaper publisher, as he is remembered by his friends and former wife after his death. Loosely based on the life of William Randolph Hearst. Frequently called the greatest film of all time.No Track Information Available

Genre: DRAMA
Arguably the greatest of American films, Orson Welles's 1941 masterpiece, made when he was only 26, still unfurls like a dream and carries the viewer along the mysterious currents of time and memory to reach a mature (if ambiguous) conclusion: people are the sum of their contradictions, and can't be known easily. Welles plays newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane, taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. The result is that every well-meaning or tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event. Written by Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz, and photographed by Gregg Toland, the film is the sum of Welles's awesome ambitions as an artist in Hollywood. He pushes the limits of then-available technology to create a true magic show, a visual and aural feast that almost seems to be rising up from a viewer's subconsciousness. As Kane, Welles even ushers in the influence of Bertolt Brecht on film acting. This is truly a one-of-a-kind work, and in many ways is still the most modern of modern films from the 20th century. --Tom Keogh
