Citizen Kane tells the story of a newspaper magnate, Charles Foster Kane, and his rise and fall, using a jigsaw-puzzle narrative and deep-focus camera work.
One of the most respected films ever made, Citizen Kane, was the debut picture from twenty-five-year-old writer-producer-director-star Orson Welles. Echoing the life of William Randolph Hearst, Welles crafted what Criterion calls "the definitive portrait of American megalomania" and a technical triumph that "synthesized the possibilities of sound-era filmmaking into what could be called the first truly modern movie."
This screening is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Paducah.
The Paducah Film Society is Maiden Alley Cinema's own monthly movie club, screening classic, cult, and foreign films in western Kentucky. PFS is supported by Maiden Alley Cinema, WKMS, and local donors.
