Editorial Reviews

Orson Welles' timeless masterwork is more than a groundbreaking film. Presented here in a magnificent 70th anniversary digital transfer with revitalized digital audio from the highest quality surviving elements, it is also grand entertainment, sharply acted and superbly directed with inspired visual flair. Depicting the controversial life of an influential publishing tycoon, this Best Original Screenplay Academy Award Winner (1941) is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity - the American Dream lost in the mystery of a dying man's last word: "Rosebud."

The 70th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Book release of Citizen Kane includes 48 pages of film history and more, plus special features and a bonus DVD containing The Battle over Citizen Kane.

This review is from: Citizen Kane (70th Anniversary Blu-ray Book) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I added this movie to my grandson's special collection. It was an excellent copy, good quality and clarity. He had heard this movie was an impressive piece of Orson Welles' accomplishments, he was not dissappointed.
