Description: Last remaining parts of once 3,000+ DVD collections. Criterions were purchased new and the scanned for covers then sat on a shelf for nearly a decade.Citizen KaneIn the most dazzling debut feature in cinema history, twenty-five-year-old writer-producer-director-star Orson Welles synthesized the possibilities of sound-era filmmaking into what could be called the first truly modern movie. In telling the story of the meteoric rise and precipitous fall of a William Randolph Hearst–like newspaper magnate named Charles Foster Kane, Welles not only created the definitive portrait of American megalomania, he also unleashed a torrent of stylistic innovations—from the jigsaw-puzzle narrative structure to the stunning deep-focus camera work of Gregg Toland—that have ensured that Citizen Kane remains fresh and galvanizing for every new generation of moviegoers to encounter it.The defective disc that was initially released has been replaced with the corrected disc.FILM INFOUnited States1941119 minutesBlack & White1.37:1EnglishSpine #11044K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and three Blu-rays with the film and special featuresThree audio commentaries, featuring Orson Welles scholars James Naremore and Jonathan Rosenbaum, filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich, and film critic Roger EbertThe Complete “Citizen Kane” (1991), a rarely seen feature-length BBC documentaryNew interviews with critic Farran Smith Nehme and film scholar Racquel J.
