Citizen Kane - DVD

"70th Anniversary Edition: RESTORED FROM THE ORIGINAL NITRATE FILM AND FEATURING REVITALIZED SOUND. About the film: Orson Welles’ masterpiece (ranked No. 1 on the American Film Institute’s list of the greatest American films) released to mark its 70th anniversary. It is a magnificent spectacle, perfectly acted (by many members of Welles’ Mercury Players at the beginning of their successful film careers) and directed with incredible visual flair. The Oscar® winner for Best Original Screenplay (1941) chronicles the turbulent life of an influential media mogul and focuses primarily on themes of power, corruption, and vanity—the American dream, lost in the mystery of a dying man’s last words: “The Bud.”
