Citizen Kane! "It's Terrific!" proclaimed the posters. And they were right.
Marking the feature film debut of the famously mercurial Hollywood auteur, Orson Welles, this drama of power, politics and regret is as engrossing as it is innovative. The film examines the tumultuous life and career of its title character, newspaper owner Charles Foster Kane (played by Welles) a composite of American business tycoons reminiscent of real-life media mogul William Randolph Hearst. Told in flashback, the film pieces together a life, an attempt to explain a mystery from the recollections of a man’s friends, enemies, and lovers. At turns poignant and biting, Citizen Kane looms large as an enduring and artful piece of entertainment that has often been credited with revolutionizing the language of cinema.
But it’s also just terrific. Come experience it with us at the Senate!
