Citizen Kane (1941)

Orson Welles · 119 min · Letterboxd ↗

Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

Citizen Kane screens once in London: Prince Charles Cinema, Monday 4 January at 15:20.
