Guide Review
"Citizen Kane" - Special Edition DVD
"Citizen Kane" is an innovative, breathtakingly cinematic character study, and Orson Welles is unforgettable in the role of the wealthy, powerful newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane. A reporter researches Kane’s life in an attempt to unlock the meaning of Kane’s dying word "Rosebud," and the story unfolds in a fascinating series of flashbacks as those who knew Kane share their memories of him. In his film debut, Orson Welles created an enduring masterpiece that is considered by many -- myself included -- to be the greatest movie ever made. Now the Special Edition DVD release of "Citizen Kane" offers you the opportunity of watching this timeless classic at home, and the DVD offers outstanding picture quality, excellent sound quality, and some of the best special features I’ve found on any DVD. For the serious film buff, owning this DVD is a must!
