THE NEWS-GAZETTE FILM SERIESRated PG
120 Min
A touchstone in film history and widely considered the #1 movie ever made - according to the American Film Institute. Celebrated for its innovative narrative structure and deep-focus cinematography. Citizen Kane explores themes of power, wealth, and the elusive nature of identity through a thinly veiled story of media mogul William Randolph Hearst.
When a reporter is assigned to decipher newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane's (Orson Welles) dying words, his investigation gradually reveals the fascinating portrait of a complex man who rose from obscurity to staggering heights. Though Kane's friend and colleague Jedediah Leland (Joseph Cotten), and his mistress, Susan Alexander (Dorothy Comingore), shed fragments of light on Kane's life, the reporter fears he may never penetrate the mystery of the elusive man's final word, "Rosebud."
Doors open 45 min prior to showtime.
